Fiji

So! Here we are in Fiji! This is another wonderful place with beautiful scenery and lovely friendly people who are so interested and kind and ready to help and to talk.

There was a police “band” playing music as we arrived. They were creating a really good sound with music I had never heard before but realised when we were in town that the style was indigenous and seemed to be playing in all the shops and malls.

Suuske was brave today when we both had a haircut. Not so bad for me, but Suuske was more than scared that another hairdresser was about to cut and style her hair. She need not have worried it looks great.

This morning we spent in Suva town looking and shopping and this afternoon we had a taxi ride out and about in the countryside. We even found the Salvation Army! It’s the same here as everywhere, same activities and services and a hostel for the homeless.

Fiji is a very religious place and there are many denominations of Christian Churches, mainly Methodist and Catholic. We did see a Sikh Gurdwara.

Again it is so very hot and humid, it is a wonder that people can live in such heat all of the time.

Fiji is a great place and it has been well worth the visit if only to experience the beautiful scenery and the lovely people.
