A Change in the weather


The locals are abuzz with the fact that the weather is behaving so weirdly. This cold wind and rain is not apparently the norm for this time of the year. Some farmers are enjoying the extra water on their crops whilst others are complaining about their machinery being bogged. At this point in time Fiji itself is not victim to the rising seas of global warming due to its circular barrier reefs. However everyone knows this is just a temporary stay against the impending high tides.
We got to hear the rain pattering down all night as we drifted in an out of a well earned 14 hour sleep. Luckily meal times here are at the bequest of the guests (not dictated to by zealous resort managers) so we abide by our own timetable and thus we do whatever we like whenever we like.
Including sampling the finest the land has to offer.
The rain stopped during the day and we went for a stroll over the coral sand beaches along the coral coast taking in the pristine views of coral infused waters, ringed with palm trees waving in the strong winds over the clumps of washed up coral on the shoreline.
Our journey came to an end when we ran into a village with no clear way along the waterline. So we retreated back to our private residence and spent the rest of the day hangin' about. Watching handmade coconut milk being produced, Spars in dubious water , a massage for one and lots of books being read.
Dinner was good as was the ambience. We now have 4 couples staying in the place. It's almost buzzing with vibe.. (almost).
We've also made contact with our contact who knows how to contact the pending recipients of our extra luggage we lugged here. No doubt this will develop into a comprehensible statement over the next few bloggs....
