The girls decided to ride the bus into the town of Nadi and do some last minute souvenir shopping. BOY! did Linda find some great deals. We also indulged in going into odd shops and a fabric store. The fabric store was cool. Lots of fabric to make sulus (sarongs), curtains, and saris. Because of the combination of the Fijian culture and the India(n) culture... everything is colorful.
Saris for sale
The main street in Nadi (even a shop to buy Kava)
Found the best prices on handcrafted items right in Nadi. I guess we didn't need to drive around the island to find them.
Linda and I got very good at avoiding and ignoring the pushy shop keepers. "Vinake" (thank you) and keep walking. Once they shake your hand you are doomed. (Ask Jim... or see day one of our trip!)
So while we were out the boys were at the pool... playing Frisbee (their poor roughed-up toes), playing volleyball, playing with the little Aussie kids and watching the waves come in and out, in and out, in and out... (You get the idea.)
Got together about 2:00. Had leftover chicken for lunch. (yummy!) Hung out at the pool. Linda and I finally got all the way in. It was toasty and after yesterday's full day in the sun we were all more thorough when we put on the sunscreen.
Went for our last dinner at the marina at the restaurant INDIGO. It was a beautiful night and the food good. (However, this morning everyone but Jim had upset stomachs. YUCK!)
Played Triominos and I finally won not only a hand but the whole game. I still can't believe it!
It rained really hard during the night. Tropical weather, got to love it!
See everyone soon! g
Some of these picture look like Mexico! Glad you got some sunny days! Huzzah!!
