| Last October (2007) I stopped in Fiji on the way home from Australia. Unfortunately, I only had 2 1/2 days to see what I could of the island of Vitu Leva. On my second day there I took a day cruise with South Sea Cruises to the Malolo Islands group. We left Port Denarau in the early morning, and cruised for a little over 30 minutes before making our first stop at South Sea Island. South Sea Island is a privately owned island, and very small. Our guides told us we had 3 hours to spend on the island, and it would take us about 5 minutes to walk all the way around the island. http://www.ssc.com.fj/south_sea_island.aspx I thought I would share some images of this first stop. Note: these are quick and dirty scans. 
South Sea Island as we approached on our ship. Note, the people standing on the beach, they were there to provide a traditional Fijian greeting as we landed. 
The water here is crystal clear, and not very deep. In fact, there are many small islands like South Sea - some that are not much more than mounds poking out of the water. 
After spending 5 minutes walking around the island, here is one thing to do. Before we left, we had a great big BBQ. !! 
This one is for Eric Rose. It makes me wish that I had brought my PADI card. Note: all images taken on a Nikon F6, Nikon 24-120 VR lens, Fuji Velvia 100 film.

| Wow, these are beautiful images. I'm especially impressed with the sky and cloud textures.

Thanks Bob. This was my first visit to Fiji, which I found to be a land of great beauty, but also great contrast; in peoples - all were extremely friendly. It would be great to return someday, but I'm not sure when.
