Dreams of Fiji 2015

[teotwaki]

This lasted more than one week but it was quite the South Pacific adventure. I guess this is the right subforum. :snorkel:

Here are some pictures for the desk jocks and the snowbound adventurers alike.

I really liked snapping shots of boats on the water!

Sunsets

Never the same minute to minute or day to day!

Tom Hanks and Wilson shared a beach here

A nice swim is a few steps and a short plunge just outside your front door

There is no photo enhancement other than a polarizer lens and no tripod for any shots. Camera is a Nikon D7000

Jeep Lovers are everywhere!

Why is it called paradise?

Because outside of every grass hut....

...was fresh baby bacon! :elkgrin:

Hawaii is similarly blessed. Sadly the little piggies become big nasty boars.

I thought the wild boars there were descended from Cook's European boars? Either way, hunting is regulated on Hawaii, maybe more for mainlanders than locals. Where my picture was taken the islanders take a spear and a pack of dogs and go hunting. :chowtime:

From my understanding, domestic pigs go feral in 2 generations (?). It's unreal.
With that in mind, they could be descended from many past arrivals.
The wild pigs are a problem in many parts of the country as I am sure you know. On Hawaii island, they tear up farms, bust through fences, and destroy irrigation systems. Dogs and various weapons are used to kill them. Some use traps, but they need to be serious traps.

I have no idea about licensing to hunt, but I'm going to kill a pig that wanders onto my farm.

I highly recommend it! I like the small island "resorts" that are so unlike the flashy mega resorts on bigger islands in other countries.
