After our rafting adventures we headed west again to the Sigatoka ("Sing-gah-tock-ah") region of Viti Levu to check out the famous sand dunes.
We had been warned by the guidebook that we had to go early or late in the day.... the weren't kidding! We walked out of our little "resort" and flagged down a passing minibus, which dropped us off outside the national park... well once we yelled...as we saw the entrance whizz by.
I hadn't noticed at the time... but the map looks an awful lot like a piste map at a ski resort!
The views were great from the top... but the heat was already kicking in at 10am... so we selected the shorter or two routes.
Up the hill...
and down the other side.
Lovely flowers surviving among the dunes.
We had hoped to do some sandboarding, but it turns out you have to bring your own board... or maybe they just don't really want you doing it! Destroys the dunes!
Driftwood galore!
The trail back took us through some strange trees.
And through the woods.
And passed the "tree huggers"
