This island has the same name than another one on east side of Vanua Balevu, much bigger and more popular; in fact civilisation is not too far here with Labasa reachable in a couple of hours of boat (with calm wheather), but there is no road here and still 3 villages around the island.
Last night in a reef anchorage with KIA island like a warship in the sunset...
Kia has 3 villages...one school, between 5 and 10 cruisers visit the island per year...
 |
| The "Sevu Sevu"...a nice tradition in these remote places ! |
 |
| A tank almost for each house to catch rainwater, breadfruit trees... |
but when gas can be saved , still wood cooking...
 |
| From one village to another one...through the hill...moutains of main island in the far... |
 |
| Kia has no car, and clearwater 3 milles around ...we love it ! |
 |
| These bioats are enough to fish around; we saw much more life (including lobster than any other place since we left Savu Savu |
 |
| The Fidjian in Vanua Balevu are known as the nicest of whole FIJI; and the local rugby team is not exception |
 |
| Question is to know what ll happen to this island in the future...if the school stop... a place for retired people ? |
