We put the dinghy in the water to go ashore and Andrew was just stepping down the ladder to wash his foot as a bit of petrol had spilt on it when he exclaimed &#8220;oh shit&#8221; as he just about stepped onto a black and white sea snake (see picture) which had it&#8217;s head raised towards said foot!  These snakes are one of the most venomous snakes but apparently they can&#8217;t open their mouth wide enough to bite anything more than your little pinky but who wants to test that theory! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Had a look around Port Denarau complex and sussed out where to fill up with diesel.  We also saw where to catch the buses including the Bula Bus (see picture).  Tomorrow we will take the bus into Nadi and visit the markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_113557.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_113557-1024x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"696\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_113557.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/2019\/07\/25\/bula-arrived-savusavu\/fznor-5\/\" class=\"wp-image-696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_113557-1024x550.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_113557-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_113557-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_113557-1536x824.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_113557-2048x1099.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_134530-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_134530-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"697\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_134530-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/2019\/07\/25\/bula-arrived-savusavu\/fznor-6\/\" class=\"wp-image-697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_134530-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_134530-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_134530-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_134530-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/trypod.co.nz\/imagine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190815_134530-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>0 0 We are now in Denarau.
