NAVUA RIVER TRIP
| HOME PAGE | UP |
Nerida recommended this to us. She said to phone a number she left and then pick up the boat at Navua which was about six miles away. She said to be sure to buy some sweets for the village children to take with us. This we did and it was really an amazing day made all the better because we were doing alone rather than being herded on to a tourist coach. This is one reason why exchanging homes suits us so much.
Navua river and our boat. It took 75 minutes to reach the village going at
quite a reasonable speed as the boat had an outboard. Our guide asked for
the money before we set off rather apologetically but, as he explained, he
needed to buy the petrol at the garage opposite.
