sleepage

I've spent far too much time on the internet. And I'm shattered. I did managed to book into an awesome hostel and get the crazy shark dive package today. The bust to get me there comes at 1, is about a 3 hour drive on an air conditioned bus to pacifici harbour. I stay there 3 nights, then back to Nadi for my last night. In the skylodge as everyone knows me here and is like "Bula Tom!" and I'm like "sup guys", and the hilarity continues. In the mean time I must stay awake and not forget my scattered possessions.

I would like to point out, I have already accelerated past sir rex-a-lot's post count from his travel blog. Unfortunately, what I win in quantity I lose in quality, coherency, photographic elements and factual knowledge. You win this time rex *shakes fist*

Kava Part II

Even my prowess as a linguistic mastermind cna't fill today with gmystery, intrigue, excitement or suspicious bakery products. The day can be summarised as food, hammock, leaving song, boat ride (avec playing cards), bus ride (avec rain), and a splishie splashie in the pool.

However, from here, it gets interesting. Soon Mr & Mrs Dave, Amie & Rachelle met me by the pool. We chilled and ate dinner before discovering it was Kava night at the hotel.
So we joined hte large circle (10+) and drank kava and chatted with a big Fijian called Si. Only Dave and I seemed to like the Kava and were given huge coconut shells to drink out of! Were told we should wash down with beer to keep us awake. Si then taught us a cool version of trumps that 4 players play and you team up with the person opposite you.

Amie and I played Si and a cool dude from Ireland (Boran). I think overall we won more times via crazy eye and eyebrow movements. Me and Boran were last to go to bed and chatted for ages about Oz and stuff. I couldn't sleep cos of crazy Kava, so at 3.30 I went on the net for 2 hours, came back and at about 6.30 3 guys managed to make the most noise ever recorded with 3 bags for 15 minutes. Argh
