January 12
Our first full day in
Fiji begins with a lovely breakfast served on the covered patio with the sounds
of birds singing in the background and the light rustle of the palm trees. The local people all seem so happy and their
smiles are infectious. We have a hearty
breakfast and return to our room for a Spanish lesson. Afterward, we decide to go to the beach. It is a short walk down the road, although
quite hot and sweaty in the mid-morning heat.
We are refreshed by the warm waters and notice there are quite a lot of
other children on the beach as well.

It turns out that
their holidays are still going strong and the children will only return to
school in a couple of weeks. We bask in
the sun and float in the warm waters for about an hour, then return to our
hotel for a dip in the pool. Wonderfully
refreshing! By now, it is time for lunch
and since there is nowhere in sight, we opt to eat at the hotel restaurant. We enjoy some lovely Indian curries and
Chicken Fried Rice. After lunch, we
lounge around and enjoy the use of the Wifi on the patio to catch up on emails
and the blog. It has been a while since the kids have been able to
Skype and I know they are getting a little homesick. There is a pool table that the kids can play
with along with the pool and a playground.
Hudson and Sam meet a couple of boys and end up spending the rest of the
day either in the pool, playing pool or running around crazy around the
grounds. We hit the bed early since
there are no real evening distractions and spend a restful night.
