We had to leave Nawanawa Estate before dawn. Ratu Joe took us by boat round the end of the peninsula. Then Helene came with us in a truck that she had arranged to take us to the airport. We caught the Sunday morning flight at 6:45 am.

Vanua Balavu airport is tiny and the sun was beginning to rise as we arrived there. The airport actually had a check-in counter. There we were weighed with our baggage and hand luggage. |

The views were spectacular as we made our way back to Suva - over reefs, the Koro sea and small islands we flew in Air Fiji's Twin Otter. We flew right past the Nawanawa Estate, then curved around to Lomaloma - so we had an excellent view of the island. The flight was very comfortable. One family was moving back to Suva and leaving the island. |
