Hi All
Hope you're well. I'm now in sunny (and sweaty!) Fiji! although I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm currently in Nadi on the mainland, but we've spent the week on Mana Island. Very small and beautiful. Did some amazing snorkelling! Also went island hopping in a tiny tin boat. Went to Malolo Island, Musket Cove, Walu Beach and Honeymoon Island. Escaped the tsunami....now that was a sweaty time! Lots of worrying and being evacuated up a big hill (in the sunshine). The good news is I'm alive and brown.
The hostel we stayed in was pretty squalid in a poor village on the island. But the kids were fun which made it worth while.
I went hand line fishing, where we caught an eel and 2 fish....yum!
We drank the local drink of Kava. Now guys, what was in that stuff I don't know! But I had a coconut full and couldn't feel my face. It's non-alcoholic, so I ask...what's in it! As the locals say 'you drink the Kava and you make the party'. We did indeed.
We did broom dancing, limbo and many beverage related games.
Alas, we leave these fair shores tomorrow....but we're going to the Cool Islands,
so it ain't all bad!
Shall update from the Cook Islands next week if I can. If not it'll be from LA the following week.
By the way, I'm thinking of staying in America for an extra 10 days or so. So If anyone fancies meeting me in Las Vegas and seeing the sights and taking a few road trips between April 28th and May 14th let me know. My email is bex35@yahoo.com (if you didn't know).
Love Bex
