What a lovely first full day in Fulaga! We started What a lovely first full day in Fulaga! We started with sevusevu with the Chief of the village followed by a tour of the village and a presentation by the local artisans. We then had a lovely meal and tea with our village host, Lucy. We also got more freshly grown fruits and veggies! We moved to a new anchor spot and had fun exploring the beach 😊
