And of course they have Kava (called sakau locally), which is made in a unique way there.
Huge kava plant, the root of this one is around 100kg
The raw root ready for pounding:
The root on the pounding stone with the pounding rocks !
The root pounded and with the hibiscus ready for sliming up
The kava being wrapped ready for squeezing
The squeeze !!! the liquid is collected in a bowl and transferred into a communal coconut shell for drinking, a great experiance !!!

LOL..it was a truly amazing place and I would highly recommend it the snorkling and diving were out of this world.
Although I am sure the sharks we saw weren't vegetarian ones as the guide said !!
Strangely I have no pictures of me after kava as it seemed to impair my ability to use it...LOL
