SURPRISE POSTCARD

Written in the postcard is the Fijian greeting 'Bula' which translates to 'Hello' (inf) in English. The postcard shows such a perfect day in the Yasawas. 

The Yasawa Group is an archipelago of about 20 volcanic islands in the Western Division of Fiji. The Yasawas have beautiful land-and-seascapes – along with enough remoteness, less commercialised, and sense of isolation to appeal with backpackers independent travellers. The remote Yasawa Islands of Fiji is where you'll find village-based resorts, stunning white sandy beaches and crystal clear lagoons.

Michelle and I did a swap before. I was happy that she shared this beautiful postcard with me, and I dream that one day I will be able to visit this spectacular beauty :)
