fishing
A man named Moses took us fishing today. It cost us $30 each and we went with 5 other people, but it was great. Anna caught a blue-finned Travoli (??) and I didn’t catch anything. One of the guys we were with, a retired teacher, caught a big barracuda, which was as ugly as sin but tasted delicious.
The fishing trip turned around what was otherwise a fairly crappy day. We were both still not really feeling Fiji too much. We decided to try and leave tomorrow, so we spent a good chunk of the morning tracking down a phone card and a telephone. You’d think something like that would be pretty basic, but this is a small island. We haven’t even been able to find sunburn lotion for the burns we got yesterday.
We never managed to get a hold of the lady at the travel agency that booked us here. Anna talked to someone who worked at the same place, but she said we needed to talk to the same person and that she wouldn’t be in until 3. It sounds a little shady to me, but who knows. We’re going to try again tomorrow morning and hopefully things will work out.
It also seemed for a while today as if I might be getting what Anna had in Guatemala. Things started the exact same way. I’m probably not out of the woods yet, but my stomach is feeling much better. There’s not really any point in worrying about it, so I’m not going to.
So today: better than yesterday, still not New Zealand.
Cheers!
