Catch up- Snorkeling in Fiji

It's been a little while since I posted anything as we went through a stint of no internet and then became very busy in Bangkok.  So as I sit in the Bangkok airport at the Subway I am going to attempt to summary the crazy adventure we have had for the last month.

Finishing up Fiji-

As we finished up our time in Fiji we started to realized that we might end up leaving Fiji with never snorkeling due to the weather.  One of the reasons I wanted to go to Fiji is because it claims to have some of the most beautiful reefs in the world, thus I was a little disappointed.  However, Adam and I began to pray that God would give us the opportunity to see his beautiful creation before we left.  With only 4 days left and thunderstorms and rain in the forecast we were not very hopefully, plus we were unable to find a dive company to take us.

A couple days before we left we contacted another dive company, when we went to meet with them at our favorite restaurant, that they owned, and they said they were taking a group of people and we could join.  It turns out the group was also staying in our complex and we were able to ride all together to the other side of the island.  Thus the snorkel adventure began.  I have added our pictures below.  God provided us amazing weather that only started once we got onto the boat that day after a morning of rain.  God had provided us with a beautiful day.

Our last snorkeling adventure in Fiji occurred during our 10 hour layover in Nadi to leave for Australian.  We got on a excursion out to a little island and spent the day snorkeling the reef and kayaking.  It was quite relaxing for a long layover.  The little island picture below is where we stayed and once again, when the forecast said it would rain, God provided us with a beautiful sunny day out on the island.








Our experience in Fiji was wonderful, although it was very laid back and we had wished there was more to do on our little island, it was a great start to our trip.  The people there are so friendly, they want to help you in any way possible and we enjoyed our stay.
