Roasted our Bacon in Fiji

---

Bula from Fiji, (well we are in New Zealand right now). Fiji was really nice but very very hot. We got fried the very first day and my feet swelled up the size of small hams, same colour as well. We were really lucky to have about 4 days of cloud and rain so we could recover from the initial shock of pasty white flesh mets nuclear heat. We stayed in the Yasawas for the whole time less the date of arrival and the date of departure and it is really very cool. The water is amazing just like the postcards. People are friendly and we met some really nice people from all over the world which is great as we now have lots of places to visit and wear holes in their couch.


This is just a quick note we will update later today with pictures once I figure out the silly machine. Damn computers anyway.


More to come

First response
I got the first response and as such, Bill - I'm taking your fridge... permanently.... ;) Good to hear from you guys - seems like all is going well. So you left fiji quite quickly it seems =P I'm looking forward to the pictures, I hear the sun is hotter down there, burns you quicker... appears to be true? /snicker. Have fun guys, until next blog.

Even with your roasted ham feet, I am envious. We are dealing with high winds, cold and rain! Please send pictures as those are what are getting me through this! lol Glad you guys are having a great time! Talk to you soon.

I understand that burning of skin is known as "white man's disease" by the rest of us. Take care and have the time of your life. Happy new year!
