Today started with a bright sunshine. I give a call to the customs office on vhf early in the morning and since I had catched lots of water last night I had already done my laundry before going. The Customs, Immigration and Quarantine procedures went like clockwork except for the part where I had to pay for each and every rubber stamp and slip of paper… This always makes me a little bit grumpy but maybe it was because while I was doing this it had started to rain… And my laundry was hanging out there to get all wet again and I was busy in town. But I am sure there will be another dry and sunny day sometime… After Customs I walked around the city and in the evening I enjoyed some more fun at the beach with the local people and many other sailors drinking Kava. This time I dragged Henk over with me, but he still is not sure what to think about Kava… Myself I don’t really like Kava, but then it was a mega easy-going party and it just came with it… I also have found an internet access, and had much trouble uploading the pictures to my website. But in the end… I won the fight. So please enjoy the pictures of ‘Messy’, a beautiful sunset and leaving Fiji just between the reefs with Sogno d’Oro in the distance.
