| |
Woke up late and headed into town. Nadi is a bit of a typical third world small town with mostly Indian and black Fijian people along with a smattering of tourists. Bula is the Fijian word for hello and as I walk down the street a number of touts |

Got up rather early in part because of the sunlight coming into the dorm and in part due to the drums announcing breakfast. Stumbled out of bed tried the shower which wasn't as horrible as I thought since I only used a half bucket of water. I still hate |

| |
Got to the sound of the breakfast drums and opened my eyes to a gorgeous long legged blond Norwegian girl about 18 walking down the aisle in a skimpy bikini. I was torn between feeling very lucky at being able to wake up to such a lovely sight or feeling |

| |
I was scheduled to leave on the 11:30 boat so I just planned to laze around and take some pictures. I had breakfast with Linda, Kate and even Laura who was feeling a little better and good enough to get some breakfast and sit on the beach for a while. |

I checked out and was back on the bus by 8:00 A.M. and drove for a couple of hours bypassing a scheduled sand surfing activity due some new government regulations. We stopped at a town to grab take away lunches before going to the trek and toobing activity. |

| |
Despite our late night everyone was up for the 8:00 A.M. bus departure. We had some bad news, there had been a mudslide on the road ahead of us so we would have to go back around the island the other way to reach our destination for the night. |

May 8 2003 Staying in My Pit of Dispair that is Nadi |
| |
I was planning to return to Robinson Crusoe Island but I had the sudden need to get moving and return to Asia. Crusoe Island was a great place but I was feeling a bit beached out. I am a city boy and while I love nature and tropical beaches |

May 9 2003 Seeing Movies on My Last Day in Fiji |
| |
For my last day in Fiji I figured I should get out of town. I was getting pretty tired of Nadi so I caught the bus to Lautoka. It was only an hour bus ride away and wanted to see if they had a bookstore. Once in Lautoka |
