Thought I had just about beaten the jet lag but - NO I woke at 4.30am this morning! Only got one new mossie bite last night - YAY! Although I am getting paranoid about them, it feels like hair/clothing moving are bugs on me!
Walked into Nadi today - about 30 minutes in the HOT sun - again so many people offererd lifts. I hadn't realised how 3rd world Fiji is, the road to twon was full of potholes and all of the houses around looked like little shant town shacks. Most of the shops in Nadi were geared towards tourists and each one had pushy sales people in abundent supply! I can't say that I was impressed with the town and wont be rushing back for a second visit! There was NO way I was doing the 30 minute walk back in 30o + heat so we decided to experience a fiji bus...You just stand on the road and stick out your hand and the bus stops anywhere!
The busses are ALL jam pakced and have NO windows - just holes where the glass should have been. There was 4 of us - me and a family of 3 sat on a seat which would have been a squash for 2 people! The bus would stop anywhere a string runs from the front to the back and you pull on that and it triggers abell. The bus ride was about 10 minutes and it cos $0.50 about 20p!
It was stunning weather today - No raind atall! Spent the evening chillaxing in the bar listening to more English/Fijian music and slapping away mosquitoes which are rapidly munch through my legs! One must have been in my sleeping liner last night and had a good old nibble as I have a line of bites going all down my leg!
