Orchid Island Village and Tukavesi Village

 Orchid Island (not really an island) near Lami Town

once a thriving, busy cultural center now has been abandoned.

One of 3 remaining traditional Fijian Temples 

The insides remain in very good condition with

all the poles wrapped and shell designs on the walls

Elder Collins admires the inside

Foot bridge leading to what used to be a zoo

The path led back to where there are some artifacts and a mural.

Some of  the beautiful flowers flowers there

  

One huge tree on the road to Tukavesi Village on Vanualevu.

We passed this house that the walls are completely woven.
 
 This is an LDS church on the hill in the village of Tacilevu

See the pineapples growing!

The path to the church and missionary flat in Tukavesi.

The sidewalks were done by a humanitarian group.

 

This is the church at Tukavesi--outside and in!

The missionary's flat.

Elder Banks and Elder Saumaki pass their flat inspection!

A river runs through it!
