Waya Lailai Island - South Pacific Island 5
Waya Lailai was our first island in the Yasawa group, to the North of Fiji. Expecting perfect white-sand beaches we were greeted with yellow sand and lots and lots of small black pumice-looking rocks. The rocks we were told were from a recent volcanic eruption somewhere around Fiji!
The resort was run solely by the villagers on the island. Each night they would put on some form of entertainment, from a traditional fijian night, where we had to sit on the ground and eat with our hands, to spending a whole evening with the locals drinking Kava! That night especially was funny when the electricity turned out at 10pm and we had to find our way back to our bure down a steep hill with no lights!
We went on a fishing trip here and caught a good few fish! Even Louise netted a few corkers! Actually they were quite small but it was impressive nonetheless!
Snorkelling here was ok but that was probably partly due to how cloudy it was. We did, however, manage to see a couple of octopi!
