bird's view...

Saw this really cool pic on HURLEYS Facebook .



It is a jump done by Mike Escamilla and Brandon Lillard over Tavarua and Namotu Islands. This is where there are a few well known surf spots.....

an amazing bird's view of the islands.....

Our first day on the land....




Huge excitement and anticipation on the first day of land clearing.....



We waited for the tractor with slasher to arrive so that we can actually gain access through the long grass and brush....

Eventually....after waiting hours....



we realised this is going to be island style time......




the tractor/slasher did not arrive. I felt like slashing the grass with my bare hands....





I could not wait for this adventure to start....

The grass were as high as the roof in some places, but we slowly made our way through the tall grass and brush..deeper onto the land.







The car completely disappeared behind the grass in some places...




Feeling strong and capable for anything and any brush!





This is the spot where we intend to establish our compound...the work/shed area and caretaker's house....


lovely shade trees...feels more like a picnic spot!






A very nice shot through the trees and tall grass.







All day I felt like Eve in Paradise

Planning and dreaming and realising what a mammoth task lies ahead for Claude and I.



Beautiful surroundings to explore and we ended up having a great day.
