Fiji Redux: Trip to Ovalau pt III

I've been remiss in chronicling the remainder of my month-long excursion to the Fiji Islands last year. These palms stood guard in front of my bure at a small resort a few miles north of Levuka, Fiji's colonial capital, on the island of Ovalau. 19th-century fortune seekers from the US and Europe planted massive copra plantations on Ovalau and Taveuni. The Westerners are long gone but vast stands of palms remain.
Walking a block or two from Mary's Lodge in Levuka one morning I came across a man who asked if I wanted to explore the hills overlooking Levuka. We set off immediately. It's unusual to find concrete structures like the steps pictured here outside of Fiji's cities. Levuka is steeped in such colonial remnants.
