Bedarra Beach Inn was considerably smaller than Warwick, with only 25 hotel rooms. However, the rooms were much larger than in Warwick. At first glance, the place seemed very nice. We didn\u2019t go snorkelling again in the afternoon, but spent some time at the hotel pool. In addition, the kids did school work for a few hours. We had dinner in the hotel\u2019s own restaurant. The mahi mahi fish that we adults ordered for dinner was delicious.

other side of the road. The coral was still pretty colourless, but there were lots of different species of fish. The seabed was also full of long creatures resembling sea cucumbers. In English it is called Medusa worm. They are harmless, but many people mistake them for sea snakes, which also live here. The reef was really shallow, and again there were really strong currents in places. Sometimes you really had to use your flippers to get to where you wanted to. On the other hand, it was easy to float along with the currents. After a long snorkelling session, the kids wanted to go for a swim in the pool too. On the other hand, there\u2019s not much else to do here apart from swimming, snorkelling and kayaking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

It was seven kilometres from our hotel, so it wasn\u2019t worth walking there in these temperatures. There was a bus that went past the hotel, but as the schedule was a bit \u201cFiji time\u201d, we thought it was best to take a taxi. The town of Sigatoka is not very big, only 12,000 inhabitants, but it still is the 8th biggest city in Fiji. There wasn\u2019t really much to see in the town, though. The colourful Hare Krishna temple high on a hilltop is probably the biggest attraction. We didn\u2019t go there, though, but just walked along the few main streets. It didn\u2019t take us more than half an hour, although we walked very slowly, and greeted almost every local we met, who shouted \u201cBula!\u201d at us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-980fb1a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"980fb1a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4192155\" data-id=\"4192155\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8986dd7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8986dd7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230414_172646-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"20230414_172646\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjQ2MywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3RyYXZlbHRhbGVzLmFob3Qub25saW5lXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wNFwvMjAyMzA0MTRfMTcyNjQ2LXNjYWxlZC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230414_172646-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2463\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230414_172646-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230414_172646-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230414_172646-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230414_172646-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230414_172646-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The town of Sigatoka is located on the Sigatoka River.

Apparently there is also a large Indian population in Fiji, or at least in this area there has to be. In addition to the products on sale, we also spotted quite a few cockroaches in the shop. Fortunately, everything we bought (apart from apples) was tightly packed, and thus protected from

Several locals passed us by, asking if we needed a lift. When we told them we were waiting for a ride to the Bedarra Beach Inn, some locals decided to find out where our driver was. We were soon told that the driver would be there shortly. \u201cShortly\u201d was perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, or perhaps just the Fiji time -version of the story, but eventually at about 8:30 our taxi driver arrived, and took us back to the hotel.<\/p><p>For Saturday we had booked an excursion called Jewel of Fiji. At 8am we were supposed to be picked up to local village to learn about Fijian culture. At 8:20am we went to ask why we hadn\u2019t been picked up yet. The hotel reception called the company organising the tour, and found out that the van was already full. Uh-huh. So they were just going to leave us waiting in the hotel yard all day, right? Fortunately, another ride was arranged through our hotel, and we were able to leave only about 30 minutes late.<\/p><p>The drive was surprisingly long. Around ten o\u2019clock we arrived in the village, where we were greeted by a traditional kava ceremony. Afterwards, we watched some local songs and dances, in which we were able to participate too. While our food was being prepared, we went to see how to weave baskets from palm leaves, and how a coconut could be split in two using just a small stone. An environmentally friendly basket made from only one palm leaf lasts for 8-10 weeks. The leaves of another type of palm tree were used to weave carpets. However, these leaves had to be boiled and dried before they could be used for weaving. These carpets can last up to ten years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section

The waterfall was quite high, and the masses of water rushing down from it had dug the pond below the waterfall very deep. The local boys who were with us were jumping into the pond from the edges of the waterfall, so it must have been several metres deep. On the way back we got to experience what it was like to travel on a bamboo raft. As the raft was moving at its own slow \u201cFiji time\u201d pace, after about fifteen minutes of floating we jumped back into the boats and headed back to the village. A ride back to the hotel was waiting for us there.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
