BURE !

'Bure' is the Fijian word for a wood-and-straw hut, a bit similar to a cabin.Here's me outside ours.
In Fijian terms, a bure is a structure built of anything that comes to hand. The 'thatch' and walls of the bure are either stacked together, tied together by rope, or a combination of both methods. Most of them have a central pole inside.
When there was a storm the local boys used a rock and palm leaves to do a patch up job! Inside the roof is pointed with beams from which hang the strings for the mosquito nets.
The really luxurious ones have fans on the ceiling.. we've splashed out for the first week here and the girls have their own bure. Next week, when Greg has left, we shall share and have a 'girls' bure.
