01/04/2007

feeling much better this morning. raring to go! as raring as fiji gets, which is pretty much to plan to sleep for most of the day, read books and venture out into the sea once the sun has eased off - which is about 4 or 5pm. if you don't want to risk swimming in 30 degrees heat, there is limited time available; by the time you wake up @ 8am or so, it is already bright and roasting outside, so you have to wait until the sun eases or when cloud cover arrives @ 4pm. it rains on que here every day around 5 or 6pm, but swimming in the rain is fine as the water is very warm. as the everning wears on, it turns a bit monsoon on account of the humidity.

anyway, i snorkeled for the 1st time today. i am not a good swimmer, so only ventured out as far as i could still stand up if need be. still, i saw thw edge of the coral reef and saw many fish - clown fish, angel fish, zebra fish (as i call them), even a flay ray fish thingy. really loved it abd i'm hoping to get the girls to join me snorkelling tomorrow if their sunburn has died down.
