We arrived in Nadi (pronounced 'Nandi') after a 10 hour all night flight. Sleep was hard to come by and we weren't exactly bright eyed and bushy tailed when we got here. Our flight was over an hour late taking off at closer to one o'clock at night than the originally scheduled 11:30 pm departure. We were off the plane by 7:00 am, but it took an hour plus to get through customs. The ride to our timeshare was enjoyable because we weren't having to drive and adjust to being on the left side of the road in our tired state. Amazingly our timeshare unit was ready by 10:00 am and we have a great view of the ocean. We took a local bus into Nadi and went to a local fruit market. It was fun seeing all of the produce options and obviously we purchased some for our meals. The prices weren't bad. The exchange rate is approximately 60 cents American for each Fijiian dollar. After that we went to a local grocery store to load up. Knowing us that shouldn't be surprising even if the prices were a bit spendy. When we got back to the resort, Sandy, Greta and Steve went to a resort sponsored party by the pool where Steve tried a couple of the local beers. The Fiji Bitters was pretty good! They also had some Fijian dancers who we very much enjoyed watching. I don't think we will be staying up playing card games tonight. The eye lids are getting pretty droopy!
