nadi to nacula island via yasawa flyer
it was overcast and sporadically drizzly in nadi when i landed, but i was optimistic about ti being a morning thing, and looked forward to it clearing up on the way to nacula. well...it didn't clear up and while the temperature is nice outside (about 22˚c) with a cool breeze, and was still nice enough to go on a walk and explore some of the coastline. i didn't go too far, and may stay close to the resort the remainder of the day-- i've had enough of being pelted with water for now.
the english woman i spoke with when i arrived here at oarsman's bay lodge in nacula, said it's been overcast for the past 2 or 3 days-- i do hope it clears up! what a bummer to be in fiji and not enjoy the sun! i'll make the most of it either way though, if this wetness keeps up, i have a feeling me and all of my stuff will be damp and sandy until sydney.
the people that work here are very friendly and will ask you where you come from, how long you are staying, etc and will just stand there, quietly, like they are expecting something. and then as they begin to learn your interests, they begin suggesting activities as if they are personally inviting you. but you believe that just long enough to realized that you get charged for these activities-- ha! sort of like the quick, casual 'would you like a little massage while you dry' from the lady who was giving me a manicure a few weeks back at siss. between their casual questions and noticeable accents, they seem innocent and generous and you want them to be your friend.
dinner was a "bbq night" buffet, of cream and cabbage soup, potato salad, peas, coleslaw, stewed pumpkin, baked potatoes, tuna, sausage, and steak. dessert was lovely: warm banana stuffed w/fresh greated coconut meat in lightly sweetened coconut milk. yum.
