As the saying goes “All good things come to an end.” and the end of our cruise was the main island of Fiji, Viti Levu. Before we were taken to our hotel in the beautiful resort area of Denarau for a 3-night stay before flying back to the US, we were given a tour that took us to lunch and to a beautiful orchid farm, the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, in the mountainous area near Nadi. The gardens were lovely and the variety of orchids was quite impressive. Here are just a couple that took my fancy.
They also had lovely lily ponds and I spied this cute little frog sitting on a pad. The romantic side of me thought he was admiring the flower, but the practical side thought he was just waiting for a fly to land.
The view as we left the gardens to return to the main highway was quite beautiful.
