A Fijian War dance

I think we should make Archie that cocktail and post the pictures for you! Pictures look amazing, as usual! I can't believe you didn't join in for the rugby game. Everything here as usual. Bump is pretty big now - only 28 days to go. Still struggling for a boys name - top 2 at the moment are Frankenstein and Elvis - so fingers crossed for a girl xx

Taki!
I was made chief as well when I last went so me and Steve would have to do a war dance-off to decide who's chief! I'll have to hook you up with my family if you go again so you can see the real Fiji.
