After a stormy night at sea, we arrived late in Fiji. This small island is a tender port, which means that there is no proper dock and the ship is moored at sea and you are taken by small tender boats to the island. To further complicate our arrival, the pontoon on the dock had been damaged by the storm, so engineers on our boat were sent to fix it. We arrived on the Island about 11. The sea was rough!. Fiji is a beautiful place. Less then 200 people live on this tiny secluded Fijian Island. Not even 1 square kilometer in area, you can walk around the entire island. The islanders told us it had been raining for 3 weeks, this had been the first day of sunshine and the paths on the island were very muddy. One of the pictures is Syed drinking Kava with the locals, it is made from the root of a plant, they use it in ceremonies, and made his tongue numb.
