Had a nice sleep without any damp bedding! hurray! Done the washing and had a nice lie in - luurvely!

Decided to go into Nadi town today so we got sorted and jumped on the local bus! All the kids were staring at us as we're white which was funny! If you gave them a smile though they would give you a cheesy grin back! Well cute!

Anyhow, Nadi town centre is erm, how would i decribe it! I am not sure, some bits are run down and some bits aren;t. We asked a man for directions on the bus and he was an off duty policeman - always handy! and showed us the way - good old Jo - He likes manchester United! He watched them win the other day as well apparently?! anyhow its pretty much one street so we went for a walk, very strange but we bumped into Gun and Leaf who were the Swedes with the dodgy names from West Cost Oz walking down the street which was nice! we had a good chat to them they are lovely people! We shopped a bit more, had a nosy round the markets then as the sun was shining the pool at Nomads was calling us!

Chilled out by the pool for a few hours then guess what...it started pouring! oh dear! So inside we went! Bloody Fiji! Managed to get a ncie swim or 2 in the pool first though, we got sorted and decide to go to Ed's bar a little way down the road for dinner and a few drinks! Got chatting to some Yank blokes from Atlanta, one had a name called Wellington Holmes as his parents named him after the Borts years and years ago - mmmm - anyone else know any Wellingtons! Anyhow, he didn't appreciate me calling him Welly anyway! He told me off! Oopsie - sorry Welly! We played some pool with them, I have an excellent talent for potting balls and potting the white as well, I am sure this could be used in some way???!! We met dome Fiji people, Moti, and Mogi a boy and a girl - so similar! AND the bar men were called ricky and martin. no way! well yes it is no way really as they give themselves English names so we can pronounce them, thats nice of them isnt it! Not really necessary, its more fun trying to learn new names. Anyhow I feel I have reached waffle mode now so I shall move on!

PS - STILL BEING EATEN BY MOZZIES - THEY LIKE ME - UH OH!
