... last song played at the club was a remix of In the Jungle (Lion King). Pretty sweet! <br> <br>Sunday, July 26, 2009: <br>Atu and Orisi woke up at 5AM to go to the farm to plant and pick their crops. They were there for most of the day, which left us girls by ourselves. We tried to study for our exam that was on Monday and we also went to the internet cafe down the road. This was the first time it rained in Suva while we were there, it was only for about 20 minutes but the east side of the ...

... complex is a large timber framed building, with accommodation situated on either side. It has 5 restaurants to choose from and we had some great evening meals. We were fortunate enough to have been upgraded to a 'club' room in a wing without kids and it had a lovely sea view. <br><br> On the one occasion we did venture outside the complex, we visited the sister hotel called the Naviti, to play golf... there were a couple of donkeys on the ...

... eejits of ourselves. Can I just say that Jo and I suck at this game!!!!! (Video of proof...although you wont have to look too hard at Jo cheating!!!!). I've never laughed or squealed so loud in years, mind you I've never had to pelvic thrust a coconut before!!!<br><br>After sorely losing we then all danced the funny Bula dance to the best moonrise I've ever seen!! A memory that will always stick with me! Phew...so much activity!!!<br><br>The next day we ...

... villagers below. We can watch everything they do, including the local rugby game every afternoon. Best of all the mosquito plague from our old house has disappeared. There are still 1 or 2 around that always find Pam, but a mossie coil seems to do the trick. The outdoor area is amazing, so plenty of bbq's when visitors from Oz arrive.

... the bark of a tree to make, through a laborious process, a fabric named mata) and posters detailing the lives of several of the folks that promoted its independence (by the way, although it's been an independent republic for several decades now, the Fijian banknotes show a smiling Queen Elisabeth II; very confusing for us, from a geopolitical viewpoint). To take the similarity with the Communist museums further, the museum also had a gallery of modern Fijian ...

... from the non-verbal clues like tone, gestures and the facial expressions of the pastors. One of the pastors started by what looked like the classical "doomsday is near" message with loud voice, wide gestures, accusing fingers, and frequent words repetitions, very much like what we've seen in the American South (as it happens, this was indeed a Baptist missionary church supported by some community in the Southern US). People in the church did not seem too ...

... animals on display. The first part of the day was pretty ordinary, but towards the end I was able to see some really good displays. I got to feed a banana to an elephant at one point, who took it out of my hand with its trunk and put it in its mouth. <br><br><br><br>After a short plane ride I arrived in Fiji, the birthplace of golfer Vijay Singh. I intended to stay at a village homestay, so after talking to some people at the airport I went to Namatakula ...

... to get anything healthy here. The more fat and sugar the better as far as the locals are concerned. Looks like we will be filling our suitcases on return trips to OZ. - Lastly the mosquitos. PK got eaten the 1st night - 40 bites. We had our house sprayed and now there are only 1 or 2 at night. We pay the price for our beautiful big garden with pond and running stream through it. Luckily our pets - Geckos, 2 x mongoose and a heap of frogs keep us ...

... ldse juuakse, aga nii nad teevad. Edasi liikusime kajakkide juurde ning igaüks sai endale oma isikliku täispuhutava kajaki. Kui alguses anti väga tõsised juhtnöörid ja räägiti igasugustest ohtudest, mis meid valitseda võivad, siis tegelikkuses oli see kajakisõit päris turvaline, aga samas päris lõbus. Päris palju oli kärestikukohti, kust alla kihutada ning küll sai mindud selg ees, küll küljega ning mõnesse kohta ka kinni jäädud. Ümber siiski keegi ei läinud ...

... really proud of what I did and the work that I did. As well as coaching rugby I got involved with playing for a club Lomaviti. The club were just down my road and we use to train about 2 nights a week and play on the weekend. The club were in the top division in Fiji and were known to be one of the best teams in Fiji. Lomoviti had 2 teams the greens and the blacks, I played for the greens. In our team we had a number of very good players. Our hooker was the current hooker for ...
