Calm sea today…. At one point the sea water outside seemed like lake water…. Glassy, rounded edge and soft…they called it doldrums… The “doldrums” is a popular nautical term that refers to the belt around the Earth near the equator where sailing ships sometimes get stuck on windless waters.
Our bulletin board wall has grown into this…
Front row seat to another spectacular sunset
Arriving in Suva Fiji today…… Bula is Hello in Fiji and it also means life!
Taro, coconut and breadfruit are major produce here in Fiji
We took a motorized long boat for 35 mins up navua river to visit a beautiful water fall
And then experienced the kava ceremony performed by the villagers
And then taste the lunch the villagers cooked for us….. Its yummy
Lovely village that offers us all these wonderful experiences and activities
Many fijians waves at you whenever our bus went by…. Fijians are super friendly people and we love the sulus (mens kilt like garment)….
……. Sea days could be very relaxing….but too many of it could be a challenge if you start repeating yourself in activities without being aware and then felt bored by it
The exciting thing today is we earned $250 onboard credit by attending a princess cruise tips and tricks session… One of the tips mentioned that if you owned carnival stocks（parent company of Princess) and showed proof, you can get onboard credit of $250…..we knew about this in 2022, bought 110 shares and took advantage of this promotion for two cruises since then and thought the offer expired last summer… Apparently it did not…and still going on…. Woohoo!! … That 110 shares of carnival stocks not only double in price but also earned us a total of $750 onboard credits….. Thank you CCL 🤩
