We woke up early in the morning to catch the Shuttle to Port Denarau, where we would begin our trip through the Yasawas. We spent most of the day traveling on the Yasawa Flyer, stopping at every island to drop off and pick up other guests. The island we were traveling to, Nanua Lailai, is located at the far north of the island chain, so we had about 5 hours to wait. The wait time was nothing to worry about! We sat on the top deck, anxious to finally sit in the sun and warmth, and we were surrounded by beautiful scenery everywhere we turned. The water was completely clear and blue. When we reached our resort, we ate a quick lunch and hit the beach!
Approaching Sunrise Resort. We arrived via "dingy" (small boats propelled by a single motor that seat about 7 to 10 people). Sunrise Resort is not a "resort" as the connotation implies. We had no electricity, except that which was powered by a small generator (that shut off at 9:30pm), no hot water, and no telephones (only radios). It is a backpacker's heaven, though. Who needs luxury when you have such stunning views?
Enjoying a breakfast on the patio at Smuggler's Cove in Nadi, overlooking the Pacific.
Fiji has many wild dogs, and they sometimes are used more for dinner than for pets. This dog took a liking to me and followed me everywhere. 
We were lucky to meet people from all over the world. By the end of the trip, we had met people from all areas of England, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, and Finland. This group here were mostly from England and Ireland.
