Fiji has been a blur. My first resort was amazing. They sang to us as we arrived on shore. There was a really tough hike at sunrise to the top of this insane rock that I wasn't sure if I would make it up. I did fall a few times on the way down. I wove a bracelet, made a shell bracelet, got a braid in my hair with shells, drank kava again, danced Fijian dances, and enjoyed every spare moment in a hammock on the beach. Coral view after that was ok. It was mo...

They gave us lots of tasters and went through how the chocolate is made. It was really good chocolate. Kept humming songs from Charlie and the chocolate factory, but Charlie from the hostel didn't make it to the tour in time. Thursday was goon and The Duke again. Drank a little ...

Still bumming around Adelaide. Currently sitting in a museum of art. All of it is very nice, I just don't appreciate these types of works like most people. I am far more practical. There is a room of all hand stitched lace. That is very neat when you think about how much time went into each piece and how we take the production of that kind of stuff for granted. I have also been taking pictures of all the angel statues thinking "don't blink!" I am obviousl...
