Bondi Beach, Sydney - 15h00 29 August 2008
Back in Sydney three weeks on and feeling a bit on the chilly side as I sit writing this in a Cafe - the Cafe Bondi - enjoying the first rays of spring in Sydney. Saying that, I wish Brussels' springs were a bit more like this! I arrived here this lunchtime following the flight over from Nadi in Fiji and I am here to visit Nicola Fell, a good friend from old Brussels times. I am enjoying a quiet VB after lunch while she makes her way over here - early finish for freelancers in Sydney on a Friday I think!
Anyway, we made it back to Lautoka on Wednesday morning and having visited the town a little in the afternoon we had our final end of cruise party back on board - fancy dress, me as an original pirate, while others excelled in the art of fancy dress in all manner of styles from the ugly sisters to Princess Leia...! Thursday was disembarcation day and around lunchtime we shot off down to Nadi where a few of us were staying in hotels a bit closer to the airport. We caught up in the evening, managed to get practically kidnapped into another kava drinking session in a souvenir shop... escaping with only a 2 dollar contribution to the ceremony instead of holding one of the charming fertility wooden carvings!
Not quite sure what plans are for the next few days, various ideas mooted from whale watching near Brisbane to hiking. No doubt we will settle on a plan over a couple of VBs - and I hope I can keep going: 8pm kiptimes were becoming a scary norm on the Soren!
Some more photo uploading now me thinks.
