16.24 - Overall it's been a good day. The weather has been excellent, hot with hardly a cloud in the sky. Bloody typical that it's my last full day though! We headed along the coast on the bus to a place called Korotogo which I beautiful. It's very chilled out although the sea and coral is not as nice as it was on South Sea Island. It's quite dirty and uninteresting in comparison. The currents are quite strong as well. I shouldn't be complaining though, it hasn't rained and I have actually been able to do something other than lounging about. On the way here, we stopped in a town where we were immediately surrounded by locals wanting us to see their shops and buy their stuff. By shops I mean tiny spaces along a bench with things like necklaces on sale. It reminded me of Bradford! We saw the real Nadi (pronounced Nan-di) today on the way to the bus stop. It reminded my of the bus station in South Africa with lots of poverty with people begging and trying to sell you things. I have gotten my laundry done today, ready for when I go back to Horizon tomorrow.
23.00 - This evening has been really good. We went into the local town to buy some food and a few beers. We got a rolling taxi back which means you are sharing with quite a few other people but they are dirt cheap. I had mackerel for tea but it was shite! We went for a dip in the pool with our drinks and proceeded to get pissed. My best day in Fiji by far. Can't wait to move on though.
