Rock sliding in Fiji!

"Are we almost there?" I complained as we walked up the hill with the hot sun beating down on our backs. "Almost". Replied the young Fijians.
We had traveled to a small village just outside of Rakiraki to go to the water slide.
While we were walking to the water slide one of the men jumped down and pulled out some guavas for us to try. The guavas had lots of seeds in it but it tasted so good, a little bit sour as well as sweet.
When we finally got to the water slide I saw a massive rock with a natural stream running down into a stream. If you looked further down the stream there was a big rock that dropped down into a huge pool, I was about to walk towards it but then I decided to conquer the rock slide first.
When it came to my turn I sat down on the surprisingly smooth rock and let myself slide down into the 12 foot pool... It was so much fun!!!
After I had done that a couple more times I went to jump of the cliff like rock.
Little Master (one of the local Fijians) demonstrated how to jump out to the middle of the stream, 3, 2, 1...
I threw myself out into the air I felt myself falling, falling, SPLASH! As I emerged from the bottom of the pool I had a massive grin of my face I was so happy I had done it.
I would definitely recommend doing something like this if you get the chance!


Here is one of the locals jumping off the top of the rock slide!
