Golfing in Fiji

Fire dance in Nadi, he has the fire on his feet

Hello all,

 I am now back in Nadi.  I got in yesterday and saw another fire dance and knife dance.  It was the best I have seen yet.  There are at least 15 people here that I met on the Islands and most are on their way to the next country or home.  It was great to see so many familar faces again.

I decided to go golfing today and it turned out to be a bad decision.  The course was the one the Vijay learned how to play and it was pretty basic but i will explain what went wrong.  First they wanted $60 to play and clubs and balls and tees.  I ended up paying $35 which was not bad.  I was given 6 balls and 3 tees and clubs that were so old that I think my Uncle Don is the only person who may have seen a set like this.  As a mater of fact he probably has them in his basement.  I broke the 3 tees by the 4th hole and played the rest with out.  The sun was unbelievably hot and like a dummy i only had 1 water and it was gone by the 8th hole.  I shot a 44 on the front and felt pretty good about it because most of the time i had no idea where i was hitting to.  the back 9 was a different story.  There was no where to get more water and so i started to get tired early.  I lost 2 balls on 11 and 2 more on 12.  Now i only have 2 left and lost another on 13.  Time to start concentrating but that didn’t work either, I made it through 14 but lost my drive on 15 so I had to quit.  I could have got more balls and went back out but i think i was almost at the point of heat stroke so I gave up.  Tomorrow is a holiday in Fiji and there is a tournament in the morning that I might go and play in.

Sat back for most of the evening with some of the new friends and traded stories about all the islands and adventures.  Going to bed early tonight as last night was a late one.

As you can see i was able to download some pics from ealier so please take a look.

Later,

Steve

    Hey Steve!

    Just thought you should should know that the Flames have now won 4 straight after beating the Aves 3-0 last night. Edmonsuck and the Canucks are both shitting the bed now….

    Anyway, Looks like you are truly having a fantastic time! Just look out for those flaming knives – you could put your eye out with them!
