Bula Bus

The Bula Bus goes around the tiny perimeter of Denarau Island. It effectively is a transport from all of the many resorts to the harbor area. Cas and I took the Bula Bus last night when we were looking for a place to eat dinner. 

One of the employees at our hotel recommended a place called Nadina for its authentic Fijian cuisine. We took the Bula Bus to the harbor- the very same harbor we walked along on the way to and from Tivua Island. When we got there, it was a pretty quick bit of navigation to find the restaurant. Hey, it's a small harbor. 

Our waitress was a hilarious woman named Aggie. She asked what brought us to Fiji, and we told her we had been married the previous day. When she asked what we wanted to drink, I told her I was torn between two tropical drinks. She quickly informed me that my top two choices were incorrect and pointed out something called Honeymooners' Punch. So that's what we got, and it was fantastic. And it came in a pitcher wth two straws. 

 

We had the appetizer choice down to green lipped mussels or kokoda (pronounced kokonda) she said kokoda in a tone that implied the choice was obvious. Then, I think, she muttered "mussels" under her breath as she walked off.  The whole thing was hilarious. 

When we ordered our main courses, I was actually pretty certain of what I wanted, so I ordered. Cas was on the fence, so Aggie just told him what to order. He figured she had been right so far; why fight it? 

Aggie was right everything was great, and it was a quick trip on the Bula Bus back to the hotel. We were pretty exhausted, but it was a great day. 

We have to leave Fiji today, but not until dinner time. Bula, everyone!
