I was shooting a wedding at Royal Davui, a great little resort about 30 minutes away from Pacific Harbor by speed boat when I met Mara a 50 year old farmer from Navosa in the interior of Viti Levu.
He was on his way to Beqa to plant casava at his employers plantation and he seemed a little nervous getting on the boat so I asked him why. The surprising answer was that this was the first time he had ever been to sea!
With Fiji being such a small country made up of over 300 little islands I must admit I was pretty shocked. I guess I forget that there are still some remote places in Fiji and not eveyone has the opportunity to travel.
