Well the Spaniard and the New Zealand couple never came back today, although perhaps that was still due to the bad weather and inability to get back on to the mainland from the islands on the small boats.
During the morning we sat around watching the Leathal Weapon films and chatting, during the afternoon I made my second proper trip out to the nearby town of Manaka in order to send off the drafted emails and check that no last minute changes were announced on my flight, which there werent, then I grabbed some more food for D' and P' plus a few dvd's for them and then headed on back.
The dvd's were either knock off, copies of review only versions or the weird ones where they are taken in the cinemas themselves, but for FD $5 for 3 films you cant really argue and as the television and radio were still out there was nothing else really to do.
While I was in the internet cafe I also checked out the local rain forecast for both hear and Australia. Sad to say that the bad rains in Fiji are just getting started with 95% of tropical storms each and every day for the forseeable future, which is about the worst news that folk here could receive and in Australia the drought is firmly over for the time being with rain all up the East and North coast, exactly where I am due to visit over the next few weeks.
When I got back I passed on the news and weather to the others and it sort of lit a fire under Aussie G' who then got on to his son back home and after a bit of haggling and negociating managed to shift his replacement flight from Saturday to tomorrow, which was the best news he could have hoped for.
After a nice chicken soup I decided to have an early night as my taxi will be arriving around 6am tomorrow in order for me to get to the airport and check in, and I can only hope that I get my seat and that they dont give it to someone else, as my time in Sydney is only a couple of days and without getting into Sydney I will miss my connecting flight to Brisbane and from there everything would go all Pete Tong.
