We headed over to the Coconut Grove’s own beach, which unfortunately involved using the yelling sticks as it was fairly low tide. We made it ashore, both of us still healthy and well, neither one with an oar protruding out of their skull. That’s always a sign of success.
We tied up the dinghy and walked along Coconut Grove’s lovely little beach and up the stairs to their covered deck dining area. We ordered eggs and toast with their home-grown chopped veggies, and their specialty: banana bread.
With this, we found our easy winner of the Best Breakfast in Fiji Award (at least of the places we’ve tried). The banana bread was easily the best we’ve ever had, more like a giant banana nut cookie in loaf form than normal cake-like banana bread. The eggs and toast were very good, but the standout was the side of chopped veggies in some seasoning mix that I couldn’t identify, but was amazing. We topped off our morning feast with cappuccinos.
Sitting out on their tropical deck overlooking the ocean, having amazing food, was about as nice as a breakfast as we’ve ever had. It was well worth using the yelling sticks to come here, and if we were staying I’d happily use them to come back here every morning! Sadly today would be our last day here. –Cyndi
