Farewell To Fiji

Hi All

Well after 3 days of rain and overcast weather at our coastal beach hotel we had an early morning departure in beautiful sunshine, aint life like that! However there was some compensation as the sun was also shining brightly in Nadi. So it was an early lunch and a few hours of delayed sunbathing around the hotel pool for both of us.

This time tomorrow we will be "talking story" with my son Bryce & Hayley on the Gold Coast (near Brisbane).

The trip has been great but we are both ready to be back on Aussie soil. Got to go time for dinner then the penultimate packing of suitcases.

Cheers David & Tessa

Raining on our parade

Hi all

Well what can I say except "thems the breaks".

Another day of rain, read yet another book, but am completely relaxed, even if a bit pale

Spent most of the day in our room then got changed and put on the usual  e, de, aerogaurd"and went off for dinner.

We are now going to pack and be ready for the bus tomorrow morning as we need to leave the hotel at 8am for the trip back to Nadi. The next blog will most likely be from the Gold Coast (that's on the coast from Brisbane, Queensland for our non-Aussie blog fans!

Cheers Tessa & David

Bad Hair Day

Hi all,
Another day in paradise, although the sun has deserted us the last two days. Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow, I hope so as I hav only got one more book to read.

Were having a lot of trouble with the phone and Internet access here so David has really switched off, slept a lot and played cards.

My foot is getting better daily so hopefully if it's a wet day again tomorrow we can go for a walk on the beach and go to the next little village. We pack tomorrow ready to go back to the previous hotel and pick up our luggage and do the final pack before heading out the next day for Brisbane to see Bryce and Hayley. Looking forward to it.

Anyone interested in a second hand pair of crutches?

David added.......

It's a shame as from my perspective it's a lovely little homely secluded hotel, but the weather is screwing up the whole intention of coming here, which was to sun bake to our hearts our content, not hibernate in our hotel room, but you get that!

Take care, Tessa & David

As I Said ...........

Hi All

I told you nothing would happen Friday we just waiting for the sun to appear which it didn't!

So now it's 10:30am Saturday morning as we wait for the sun to shine, it looks promising for the next few hours.

Update tonight.

Regards
David & Tessa
