Craig and Sharon's Travels!

Bula! (That's hello in Fijian)

It's a hard life! We've spent the last 8 days on small islands off the coast of Fiji where the sand is whiter and the water bluer than we've ever seen before. There was nothing to do except lie on the beach sipping a cocktail or snorkel in the warm sea with all the amazing fish... (Do we have any friends left?)

Now we're back on the main island and sight seeing resumes in earnest! Up early tomorrow to go to Suva the capital where Craig wants to see his compulsory museum (especially as this one's largely about cannibalism - Sharon's getting worried).

Still can't put any pictures up as finding a PC is hard enough, let alone a card reader.

We've just about got our heads round what day it is again after crossing the International dateline again - we had 2 11th Julys and no 15th which was wierd.

Sharon thought coming back to the main island of Fiji would mean less creepy crawlies but since starting typing this she's been attacked by a flying beetle about 10cm (4 inches) long - it got caught in her hair! Oh well!

Hope everyone at home is OK (Sorry to hear about your hand Paul - any excuse not to have to paint!) We hear WW3 is about to break out in the Middle East!

OK, no more post comments from us. We want to see weird coloured fish, cannibal museums and drink cocktails on blissful beaches. Not sure about losing days, that would do my head in. Anyway, we are no longer your friends, just jealous acquaintances.

Damn, were looking forward to the pics of you both in grass skirts, guess those will probably end up tucked away with the ones of Craig in his Best Man outfit.
Can't think of anything here that would make you jealous, although in Craigs absense the Maint team have managed to get the aprs down to 70!
Take care
