5am start today to go rafting.... on the Upper Navua river.
Its not the longest river in Fiji, but it has a very impressive gorge, and some grade 2 and 3 whitewater.
After a 1.5 hour coach trip we had a 20m hike to get to the start of the trip - all through heavy bamboo and rainforest, which was of course very beautiful.

After our safety briefing from Dave, we got in the raft and took up our respective positions.

The Flying Cloud crew grew by one during the day, as we welcomed Ryan onto the good raft - Flying Cloud
