Clammin’ Up

October 30, 2013 in Makogai, Fiji

We haven’t posted much lately because we haven’t had internet access but speaking of clams, they raise giant ones here in this village on Makogai. After the baby clams get big enough to survive, they are released into the wild all around Fiji to help repopulate the species. There are a bunch of huge ones right at the end of the village jetty and all along the beach in about 10 feet of water.

Next, we’re headed to Levuka, the former capitol of Fiji, then to Suva. -Rich

Update: October 31, 2013 (Happy Halloween!)

We’re in Levuka – just arrived after an easy four hour trip. Have internet. Will Post.

Cyndi, stunned at the size of the clams (the clams are ones not wearing the green and black dive suit!).
“I think this is a little bigger than the recipe called for!”
