Two and a half week long study break? Fine by me! I got to snorkel a ton where I saw coral and coral and more coral. Acropora party! Butterflyfish mayhem! I felt nerdy. The dive instructors at Safari Lodge have been travelling the world for the past 7 years and diving at pretty much every dive site known to man. It was incredible. We got to go through a huge number of coral tunnels and we saw an unbelievable amount of giant coral fans.
Everything was just massive and with such beautiful colour. Sometimes we could look up through a few holes and you could see the surface with red fish floating through and 20 kinds of coral at different depths β absolutely stunning. There is no way that I can describe it to you to do it justice. Lauren went snorkelling at the same spot at the same time and he thought it was phenominal as well.
This trip was his first time snorkelling β he is spoiled as am I!! We also went to Colo-I-Suva this week, which is always a blast. His family owns a great piece of land in Nausori about 25 minutes away and we made a lovo from scratch. We made palusami dalo leaves with onions, fresh coconut cream that we squeezed and either corned beef or tuna , yams, cassava, dalo, and chicken. It was delicious and I really appreciated him inviting us up there.
It was incredibly fun and Tui and his father are two really great people. I did about 3 sit-ups two days ago and my abs still hurt. Our diet has also changed to bagels and bagels alone because Lauren has mastered the art of bagel-making. I finally got my netbook in the mail took 7 weeks when Canada Post says it will take business days even to Fiji and have been installing Lubuntu on it and getting it up to snuff. And yes, through the movies and having fun I will be studying.
I am at a pretty good place right now with classes which is good because they are all at the same time. I already finished Health Psychology final mark: A! I also need to figure out how I am going to pack and where I will stay.. Lots of options so hopefully narrow that down a bit more before I have to leave. I am hoping for some relevant experience but I might do some odd jobs until I can find a job like that. We were all very proud of her. Also, she is awesome.
