About an hour west of Suva is Pacific Harbour, which was trying to be an exclusive resort town. Never seemed to make it, though I have heard it has a great golf course. Josie and the girls and I went for the day to play at the beach. If it is raining in Suva you can be assured it is almost always sunny everywhere else. So to escape a lot of people take off to Pacific Harbour. When we arrived at the beach we realized something was very wrong. We soon found out that the Solomon Islands had an underground volcanic eruption and all the lava flow which is now pumice was carried by the tides and finding its way to the coast line of Fiji. I wish I took pictures it is an amazing site seeing a beach covered in feet of pumice. I was a bit concerned about swimming in it, but the water prevailed and I am still picking out very fine pumice out of my dreads!
