So from being meticulous at brushing my teeth with bottled water I found myself sitting covered in a gaudy sarong drinking dirty dishwater that had been filtered by a flannel, and drinking out of a wooden bowl that loads of other people had already!

Woke up and went for a walk to the top of the island. It was huge compared to the other islands i went to. Full of secluded beaches and rock pools. Checked out and jumped on the boat to take us back to the mainland. Got on the bus and headed for Lautoka town. I had packed all my shoes in my bag which was now under the bus so once we had stopped I went to get some cheap sandals with Danyel. We didnt realise the rest of the group had set off to the restaurant so when we got out of the shop we couldnt see anybody!! We walked up and down the street for ages getting stared at by the fijians, the people of suva are not quite as friendly as Nadi or ... read more
