The resort was isolated on the island and everything was shipped in. There were 3 meals a day and a afternoon tea. The events were announced by the blowing of a shell horn. The meals were delicious and we were really looking forward to it. We booked a trip to a nearby village. It was nice situated around a big grass area. We were invited to the sacred kava ceremony. Kava is a kind of drug, very popular in Fiji. It are roots, dried and made to powder, mixed with water. You can compare it with potato peels with water mashed in the food processor. So it tastes. You have to say Bula, clap your hands in a certain sequence and drink the stuff. I wouldn’t say it’s harmless, as I got soon after a strange tricklish feeling in the skin which came intermittent back for months.
