Well I am finally in Fiji! I actually didnt end up coming here when originally planned, things have changed quite a bit. We had a great last night in San Fran, went to a party with Kara in Oakland and met lots of friendly peeps. The next day wasnt good. Woke up with nasty hangover. Then I received yet more horrible news from home. My nan, Rose, had died that morning. I felt really sad but she'd had a good long life. Just hard being so far yet again. St...

We've been having a cool time in San Fran for the last week or so but sadly now its coming to an end. Last weekend we met up with a friend, Kara, who we met in Cuba.

Have really enjoyed the last week here and feel as though we have gotten to know the city quite well. Havent really had time to write diary for a little while. Have done quite a bit since the last time I wrote. So the next day we went to a lovely little Cuban bar (yep missing it that much!) where all the past customers had scribbled on all the walls, ceiling and whatever else you could write on.
