| Bula from Fiji! Bula Everyone!
Well ive had 6 days in paradise and its been a blast! Today im heading to a coral and clam farm where they raise the corals to replant on the reef and raise the clams to eat. I got a kick out of it when i told the guide that we usually pay up to 50.00 for a 3" clam, he nearly fainted. Then he asked me why i pay so much for food! The reefs here are gorgeous, and i have plenty of info to share where some of our favorite corals are located in the wild. The down side is that 90% of corals are brown, not too many colorful ones. The most dominate coral is montipora, its everywhere, even growing in less then a foot of water! Ok guys will report back more when I get back to the states.
