Day One: Continued
Guess what I got to do my first day in Fiji? Move an entire house. Haha, well actually we had a LOT of help from the Bishop and his wife along with some members. We became homeless the first night I was in Fiji. Luckily we lived very close to town and were able to find a fairly cheap hotel to stay. The room was even air conditioned! (Apparently a luxury here). We went out to the BBQ Chicken restaurant, which I hear is about as American as you can get here and the jet lag hit me HARD. We wandered back to the hotel and I crashed.
Day Two
Guess what I found finally? A Diet Coke! They usually drink Coke Zero (which I would have settled for) but I found a delicious DC at the store around the corner.
Go figure the first photo I post is of me and a Diet Coke
We found out that one of the volunteers (Annie) fell out of a tree in one of the villages after watching the sunrise and after all the commotion of moving and tree trauma Kat decided that we should get out of Lautoka (where we are staying) and go to Roki Roki to a resort. Day two and I'm already heading to the beach! I will post pictures and continue the story very soon!
p.s.- I won't be recounting every day like this for very long. I just happened to keep a little journal for the first days and wanted to update you all :)

Glad you found a coke and are drinking it on the beach!! I'm confused... Why were you homeless? And do you now have a home? Also let's Skype Sunday night! What is the time difference from Utah?
ReplyDeleteIt's a long story why we're homeless. I'll tell you when we skype. mmm on Sunday evening at 7pm it will be 1pm Monday here. Just let me know what time and I'll try to be on around then. Monday is a holiday so I'm not sure what exactly will be going on. So excited to talk to you!
