SAWA-I-LAU CAVES


Today I was able to go into the cave and grotto on Sawa-i-lau isalnd.

My guide was a very nice Fijian lad named "John". Although he charges $10.00 Fijian (which is more like $5.00 US) it was well worth it. We had the entire cave and grotto to ourselves.

To get into the grotto you must first swim across a pool and next go thru a very narrow pass into the next cave which is more like a grotto. It is open to the sky so there is plenty of light. It was beautiful.

On the beach there was a group of Italians from a nearby luxury vessel. John explained that they didn't plan to see the grotto and cave because they didn't wish to pay the admission fee. That's like flying to Los Angeles, taking a limo to Anaheim and refusing to go to Disneyland because thet have an admission fee!

The picture is of the ceiling of the grotto with the sunlight streaming in.
