Unusual Attractions in Fiji
The Legend behind Fire Walking
Tourist cannot leave Fiji without seeing fire walking. There is a legend behind fire walking that is rather interesting. Legend has it that a God gave power to a Bequa warrior that allowed him to walk on fire without being hurt. This was given in turn for a favor.
Delicacies of Fiji
There are some rather unusual foods in Fiji. As a tourist, I am not sure I would want to eat these particular foods but for the people of Fiji the foods are a delicacy. The delicacies are diverse roots, raw fish that is marinated in coconut cream and boiled bat.
Fiji Museum
The Fiji Museum may not be as unusual as other attractions but one item they display is a rather unusual attraction that dates back to when people thought Fijian people were cannibals. It is said that Thomas Baker was eaten and the only thing left was a shoe that is now on display in the Fiji Museum. Souvenir shops carry four-pronged forks that remind visitors of this period.
Humphead Wrasse
Other unusual Fiji attractions are the humphead wrasse the largest reef fish in the world. Their population is steadily declining and for that reason, they are not fished commercially. Their scales have been used to paddle boats and are known as varicose.
No Shoes Required
If you like to walk without shoes you will love Fiji even more. Walking without shoes is acceptable everywhere even in the airport. It is fun to walk without shoes and it is nice to know there is a place that respect people who like to walk around barefooted.
