A DAY IN SUVA

Hello mom I hope your enjoying your cereals! Last night we ended up at the Italian Restaurant and just had a main course it was yummy! we then wondered down to the fish restaurant (that is the one on yesterdays photos at the end of the Pier. we havn`t eaten there yet but are booking in for tomorrow night. Well the three lads were singing and they are lovely we want to get their CD (it`s probably not going to sound the same when we get it home) just had a drink and then back to our room. It was around 7am when we got up and we went to the pool before breakfast. Brian is still giving me swimming lessons but I keep going round in circles! anyway he insists that it`s good for my arm. Well we were still at breakfast at 8am and Misa was ready with the coffee. We told her we were thinking of going in to Suva and she said her daughter would be happy to show us around, she is twelve and her name is Meresiani. Well it was arranged that she would be waiting at the side of the road in her village called Napolin. It was no trouble to find her and she was there with her little cousin and he just wanted a lift to the next village. She was a happy smiley girl and quite excited about the trip. Her father lived in Suva so she was going to get a chance to see him. Well every village we passed she had an uncle living there she Knew just about everything and everybody. She told us she was top in her class and wanted to go to University. Her brother lived with her father and he was a great Rugby player. Well we shopped and Brian bought one of those jazzy shirts, I`ll get him to wear it tomorrow to show you. Oh he`s got a bright red face he lay under a parasol and the sun found it`s way through couldn't`t believe it. He`s put the cold T Bags on his eyes and we think it`s done the trick. After the shopping we went to Meresimani`s favourite restaurant and she had a pizza and chips and guess what her aunt worked there! Well afterwards she wanted to visit her father and he lived about 10 minutes away. She was happy to see him and then he wanted a lift back. The trip to Suva is about 50 miles. Oh but on the way we had to meet up with her brother back in Suva. We finally dropped them back at the village and we had all had a very interesting day.

We have found a lovely spot near to our room where we take our drink every night and tonight we met the best man for tomorrows wedding. He joined us for a drink and went through his speech. Sounds good but I hope he won`t have a hangover. The wedding is at 4pm I`ll see if we can get photos. Goodnight x x x x
