Greetings!
There is, once again, not much to report. It turns out that there is not that much to do in Fiji! We have mostly been lounging, trying to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit (unsuccessful), current time to EST (unsuccessful), and searching for hidden gluten enemies in Fijian cuisine (playing it safe but actually had a waitress laugh in my face today when I mentioned that I was allergic to bread. Outlook is not very positive). As I have about 12 books on my Kindle (best invention since the ipod), ample free time and relaxation have suited my schedule perfectly.
Today, we did have one MAJOR adventure; we boarded a 2.5 minute shuttle to a beautiful GOLF COURSE, where played a fun and suspense filled round of golf. We were the only people on the golf course, beside a few stray cows, two horses, a pony, and one interesting family who lived behind a chain link farm fence and sold golf balls for a dollar (more on why we should have cleaned them out of their supply later). Chad and I started with a match in mind, but Chad was losing and I forgot we were even playing a match, so there wasn’t a lot of ‘action’ to be had out there (in every sense of the word).
You might wonder what type of suspense could be found during a round of golf with two people who were not keeping score. When we arrived at the course, Chad bought a bag of tees and a dozen golf balls. I was eyeing up the golf shop for any hidden gems, but Chad’s outrageous request caught my attention. 12 GOLF BALLS BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE FOR 18 HOLES? How could we possibly need 12 balls???
Fast forward to hole #13, where I was frisking the rental bags for extra balls, and voluntarily trudging through some very questionable fescue in search of anything roud. We ended up finishing the last 4 holes with two golf balls between us. This has been the nail biter of our trip so far.
Tomorrow, we have big plans for snorkeling. Chad has also mentioned the possibility of doing some laundry in our bathtub. Who knows where the day will take us!??
