Bula!

Bula - Hello! - from Fiji! I made it. After a total of 21 flight ours, two layovers, and more complimentary beverages than I can count, I landed in Nadi, Fiji at 6:07 am the morning of December 17th.

I then proceeded to spend two days sleeping and lounging by the hostel pool. But from the little time that my eyes have spent open, I have observed a beautiful brown-skinned people who smile friendily at you when you pass, men who wear skirts to work and play rugby afterwards, and flowers that grow everywhere - yellow, purple, red, and white - before the green hills slide into the sea. I like it here very much.
