Not much to report as we haven't done too much over the past few days. It has been overcast with a day or 2 of drizzly rain. We have ventured into town a couple of times to top up with supplies. Visited the Flea Market today which has stalls selling Sulu's, Fijian dresses, woven baskets and bags etc all for the tourist trade. We have decided to visit Beqa (Benga) Island which is just to the south of Suva harbour and is one of the best soft coral reefs in Fiji. It is also the home to 8 variety of sharks including Bull, Tiger, Lemon and white tip which they feed on scuba diving tours (we will see how brave i am when it comes to snorkelling). Not sure when we will leave here for Beqa, but we will need good sunlight as there are lots of reefs and coral bommies to negotiate. Hopefully Thursday will clear up a bit. We will need to be back in Suva early next week to pick up Nigel's visas.
