Goodbye Fiji....hello New Zealand!

Hey everyone...today is my last day in Fiji...so I thought I would post some pictures since it is raining and I had nothing else to do. I leave on a flight for New Zealand at 3:00AM. Campervan time! I can't wait. To Joy and Mike....I haven't quite figured out the whole dateline thing, so I am not sure if you are ahead or me...oh well? Yesterday...we did a cultural day and went to a local village and had a Kava cermony with them. Kava is root and when mixed with water has a numbing effect, when drinken. It is drinken everyday by about 60 percent of Fijians and it tastes like muddy water. It was really good to be able to learn how things were and continue to be in the villages of Fiji. We also canoed up a river to this spot, and hiked to a couple of waterfalls. The big waterfall was like 50 ft. high and our guides jumped from about halfway down. I have pictures, but they are not on my digital..... On the way down we had to jump down from the lower falls about 15ft. I was a little scared but it was so fun! Then we took a bamboo raft down the rapids....also so much fun, and even better beacause it just rained and there were like 100 waterfalls off the side of the river we were on. I can't wait to see the pictures! Hope everyone is doing well and by the way is anyone feeding my turtles and giving Fluffy her medicine? I hope so...but get back to me on that...because I am a little worried and need some peace of mind! Joy send me an e-mail with pictures of your dress....I check both, so that way Mike won't be able to see it! Love yous!
