Only two more days in Fiji and the kids do not want to leave. We have experienced so much. More "real" Fiji culture than I thought we would considering that we are staying in a resort. I always like to go to a grocery store when I am in a new country and we did that one day which was interesting.
We also really enjoyed the visit to the Fiji school. The kids there sang to us and we even got to peek into one of their classrooms. The kids had uniforms but not all had shoes. When it rains bad the kids have to go home. Most of the kids walk far to get to school. There are three different languages in Fiji and one of them is English. To get your diploma you have to pass English. All higher education is taught in English. Tourism is the biggest industry so English naturally is very important. Everyone on our bus brought school supplies for the students.
Bob can't stay away from the Kavu, but hasn't done anything crazy yet (not more crazy than usual that is!)
We said good bye to our Australian friends today but hope to see them in Sydney. The kids had a lot of fun with the Holmes family as did we. The kids went on a Banana boat ride together and last night we all went to a Fire Dance performance (amazing!) as well as a Fijian feast with great food that was cooked under ground, very tasty.
Now I think I'll head to the pool for a swim!
