Fiji: on Malolo Island is where we started in Fiji. This is my first time crossing the equator and the international date line. When we got to our resort we were greeted by some people with a greeting of “Bula” Fijian for hello. We had a good snorkel and I saw a school of three foot long trevally!
Our next stop was Savusavu we had a great time at the Daku Resort. We had a really nice dinner with the owners of the daku, JJ and his wife. JJ gave me really hard quizzes on geography. I thought I would master the one on America but I got a few wrong like name the most southern state, the most northern state, the most eastern state, and the most western (hint: you can use the same state more than once). The next day we went to go diving. We saw a lot of cool little fish like the well camouflaged Leaf fish, a nudibranch or sea slug, and a giant clam. The clams have amazingly bright colored lips in tons of different colors. Later that day we went to the local market where they had a giant banana three inches thick and some amazing spices. Our last day in Fiji was spent doing a couple more dives in which we saw a stingray, a couple of grouper and a school of snapper.

GREAT to be able to visualize where you've been! How big are the "giant" clams?
