I got up early and had breakfast with Ben which consisted of paw paw slices and a cup of tea. I gathered my belongings and checked out swopping email addresses with Swedish Pete and Ben. The Fijians played the traditional farewell song called Isa Lei. I wrote a message in the visitor book and scrawled a message alongside others on the Scottish saltire behind the bar. I jumped in the speedboat with Ben and we went back to the mainland. We checked in to ...

I changed my money to Fijian and got on the airtrain to the airport. I checked-in and then hung around in the departures lounge.
