Hello everyone,
Its been a while so we thought we would update you on our last few days.
Since the trek across the Raro, we have chilled and met some incredibly different people.
The Swedens: A couple from the northern wastelands of Sweden who were poles apart from each other (get it?!?) She was a ginger (dyed blonde) hairdresser who had a tendency to over use the word Fxxk and to scream at the merest hint of anything with wings. He was an electronics salesman who was hilarious and somewhat more subdued than her. Both however were great fun and we fully intend on imposing ourselves on them as we venture round New Zealand.
UK People: As we are, all very nice and with a similar tendency to drink too much and run around doing silly things!
Main happenings: One evening was spent having a few drinks with a girl called Katie, The Swedens and and English Couple called Phil and Katie.. needless to say, several trips to the shop to refill on the booze were needed and the night ended with the females of the party chucking themselves in the sea.
We managed to see a bit more of the island by hiring some scooters.. We used them to venture further afield to various snorkelling patches and in the process saw some incredible fish.. angel fish, giant clams and some little blighters that chased pol and made her scream!
Island night on Thursday was excellent.. saw some authentic half nude Polynesian men (and women) strut their stuff and make us all laugh. The night was compered by a chunky bald maori who had numerous digs at the brits!.
In Fiji now and are about to embark on an island adventure.. staying in a nice hotel about four hours by boat from the main island in Fiji.. will update in a couple of days with some more pics.
Loz: Happy Birthday and well done on the RAF.
Phil: Can you reply to your sis's email if you want the money for the bills.
Time is up so good bye.
love and hugs
Pollyali

Hi you two! Thanks for the call tonight. I didn't want to keep you talking because I know that calls are expensive. Can't sleep tonight and the SUDOKO has got to me and woken me up big time. Dave is snoring like a.......so I thought I would see if you had written. I guess the Swedens must be a new breed of people, perhaps they are related to the Denmarks....lol. It sounds as though you are managing to find plenty of drinking partners and a good supply of alcohol. Is it as good as you had dreamed so far????? Work was a pain this week. All we seem to do is endeavour to educate people about things that are common sense. They have no perception of RIGHT and WRONG. David starts his new job on Monday. I think he is a wee bit nervous. Haven't made it to the bank to put in your cheque for £29 but will try this week. I miss you but having this site is helping.
Love to you both...MUMXXX
