NADI, FIJI

Well, we're back on the mainland of Viti Levu. Not quite civilization, but it will have to do for now. This afternoon, just as the weather was finally clearing, Chris and I took the big yellow boat back to Denarau, and checked in to the Beach Escape Villas for a night before we head to the Coral Coast tomorrow. The big news here: Today, in sudden-death overtime against South Africa, Fiji won the Wellington Sevens, making them the world rugby champions! This has made the already-cheery Fijians even happier than usual--except for our taxi driver today, who made the mistake of betting against Fiji. I watched the game on TV--it was actually pretty exciting, although I have to admit that half the time I had no idea what was going on.
