Helen: Here we are in the Big Smoke - well, everything is relative - this is the biggest city in the Pacific...and it's not even as big as Edinburgh! Still, have managed to get new glasses (woohoo, can actually see clearly for the first time in several months) and been out to dinner. Thinking about going to the cinema too...but can't decide between average Hollywood horror flick or Bollywood film - think when in Rome we ought to do what the Romans, or in our case, Indians, do...but having a hard time convincing Mr P who thinks (probably rightly) that it will be full of dancing and singing. Never been his strong point!
Thought we'd get to do some shopping too...but have discovered cameras and laptops are fiendishly expensive here compared to the internet so will wait. Oh well. Oh, and we went to the Fiji museum too - C predictably made a beeline for the exhibits on canabalism. Strangely, even though the museum was a history of Fiji, there was no mention anywhere of the huge Indian influx which happened 150 years ago.
Not much more to tell - heading back to Yamana in Lautoka tomorrow.
Hxx
PS bus journeys here are most amusing - great big Fijian ladies next to tiny wee Indian ladies - makes me think of Fattypuffs and Thinnifers :)

Great to catch up on all your recent news. As I write it's a gloriously sharp October morning - leaves turning red and yellow all over the garden and grass covered with a very light frost earlier on (can you even imagine frost where you are?). How long do you anticipate the voyage to NZ will take? Much love, Susanxx
