"Fiji Time" is the expression used on the islands when referring to their lack of urgency, mostly due to the heat and laid back attitude. In our case, it's been because of the rain and lack of surrounding action. We've done nothing for long enough, although we saw some action as well: horse ride on the beach, trip to Sigatoka town, jungle trek, village visit, snorkeling, swimming, volleyball. Perhaps the highlight was church service yesterday in the small village next door, followed by lunch with our friend Juta and his family; chicken soup off the floor. It was a very special experience to soak in some true Fijian culture.
Off to New Zealand tomorrow morning, we're ready for some Kiwi.

Brandee and Tony are leaving the US until Thanksgiving. We'll be backpacking through Fiji, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru and Costa Rica...
Are we ready for an adventure this big? Absolutely.

Sounds so amazing. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow, safe travels to New Zealand!
Soup off the floor, is something I would like to hear more about later. Also the church service. It's so delightful to learn about other cultures and ways. What a great experience. Prayers for continued safe travel, from home.
