Had a great day on the Queen's birthday, thanks Qweenie! We caught a bus up to the Colo (pronounced tholo) Suva National Park and strolled through the lush rainforest and heard the dog-barking pidgin and spotted the horror-inducing giant millipedes clinging to the tree trunks. The path took us past the upper pools where boys were attempting to jump from heady heights off branches into the water and followed the waterfalls and swim holes down to the lowest and most popular pool. Here the kids and families were all noisily gathered. We jumped into the cool water in our clothes like everyone else and watched the teenagers play tag around the pool and in the waterfall, all very friendly to chat with and we were asked a few times to have our photos taken with them. A great day!
Next morning the furler arrived in it's many boxes, so it was a busy-bee day on the decks, also had house battery failure that night, so the following morning was devoted to replacing the house batteries with new locally made ones. We were at last ready to go to the west to Lautoka for custom clearance for one of the resort meccas of Fiji, Malomo Islands…got to keep our teenager happy!
