Fabulous. Friendly people, so very friendly people. OK, being in Suva
which is the capital is not particularly a pretty place and a huge mix of
Asian and Fijian, but interesting all the same. The yacht club is not
luxurious...no fancy marina, no good facilities, but they will do anything
for you. Very few boats so we are well known here, especially as Jess and
Callum have befriended all the local kids.
We contacted Sarah - ah, now Sarah is the mummy of Phaedra, who was from
Nakesa, who we crossed the Arc with. We spent New Years with her and her
husband, and promised to visist her when we arrived in Fiji, but she didn't
think we would!!!! Well, she has been amazing. Taken me about town to do
my shopping, giving us a guided tour today, and knows everyone. We shall
see her again and no doubt will have more fun. Thank you Sarah.
RUGBY - Tim has seen every game, and has not left the marina entrance. His
eyes now look like rugby balls, except after the England vs. Arg game, they
had stars in front with disbelief!
SA game tonight, so we will be getting front row seats and not allowed to
talk to Tim until after the game. But if they lose (god forbid) then we
wont be able to speak to him until further notice.

So, until tomorrow after the game.......................
