Lay day activities, the Tavarua-Namotu rivalry and a preview of Round Three.
These are rough days. Fiji has been flat for the better part of a week, leaving our heroes on Tavarua and Namotu stuck trying to kill time on their tiny islands. The long days are filled with tough decisions: do we consume the pancakes and work them off with yoga? Should we play basketball, tennis, or volleyball? Snorkel or standup paddle at high tide? Should we fish or catch a boat to the mainland for some golf? Every choice seems make-or-break, at least until there's a tiny bump on the water, because then it's all about surfing. Behold, a few images from a flat day in Fiji.
