Headed up the east coast today. Visited an orphanage in the morning, it was great to see so many happy people. They had more of an encouraging optimistic atmosphere than anywhere Ive been before. Set off to another village for a kava ceremony, a drink made of a dried root, meant to have a mellow effect, but it did nothing for me. You must accept the 1st drink so as to not offend the chief, even though you do not know where the water is coming from. After that, headed onto a nearby river for bili bili rafting, small rafts made of bamboo. Went down the river a bit on them where we played water polo with the chief, he was a really fun, happy, comical guy and not afraid to get wet. Headed on through some crazy rural roads to get to Nananu – I – Ra, an island on the north east tip. Stayed the night at the Nananu – I – Ra Island Lodge, a really cool resort, with a nice beach, quite secluded with a good crowd and good food.
