Neil's Round the World Trip!
I got up early and had breakfast with Ben which consisted of paw paw slices and a cup of tea. I gathered my belongings and checked out swopping email addresses with Swedish Pete and Ben. The Fijians played the traditional farewell song called Isa Lei.
I wrote a message in the visitor book and scrawled a message alongside others on the Scottish saltire behind the bar. I jumped in the speedboat with Ben and we went back to the mainland.
We checked in to Travellers Beach and had fish and rice for lunch. It was quite appetising until I discovered a dead cockroach in my rice...I didn't eat anymore but didn't complain (Fiji time). We took shelter from a tropical storm and then two drunk, sunburnt Manc's (from Manchester) came in. They were babbling verbal diarrohea and both myself and Ben immediatley disliked them.
The slightly more stupid of the two pipes up with this after a tirade about how he hates Australians: "If you tell Australians you think theÃr country's sh%te and they're shi%e they don't like it! But in England we'd just say we're not bothered, do we look bothered!"
The other one follows that with this: "Schoooner...Schooey Schoooner what a load of crap just give me a pint you bloody convict". Myself and Ben make our excuses and leave as they're anti-Australia conversation rages on.
We decide as our own hostel likes to give us some surprise protein supplements we should try the hostel nearby called Horizon. We ordered pizza and took part in a kava ceremony (the traditional drink). The musical band sit on a reed floor and are surrounded by eager backpackers waiting on the free kava and the ceremony where they will be devirginised (kava that is). Both myself and Ben took part and were no longer kava virgins. It looks and tastes like muddy water and tingles a little.
I saw Derry and chatted to him and his friends. Then Ben's face went white, I turned around to see two pale human outlines with red hair on coming closer fromout of the dark shrubbery. They march up to us and shout "Alright lads! mind if we sit here? we reply that the chairs are wet and they move on although breaking Ben's chair after warmly hugging his back.
We walked back to our dorm to find the Manc's playing Oasis at full volume. We waited until they passed out (which was a few minutes) and then switched it off!
