Last Days in Fiji

so to my surprise Brandy showed up at the hotel and stayed a couple of nights before working out her ticket home. She was still complaining of a headache and yucky ears, but was definitely moving better. Got an e-mail from her the other day and she still doesn't remember what happened but is feeling better/

While she was around we ate, looked in all the shops, and hung out. After she left I finally went on a pearl farm tour and learned a whole lot about the world of cultivating pearls. Pretty interesting stuff. Black pearls are made from black oysters, but they range in colors from pearl to yellow gold, to chocolate and black and pretty much any color in between! They get manipulated to create the different colors. And of course there are a thousand different shapes and sizes. Fiji is a little slow in getting in to the pearl business, but they say their pearls are better than in the Cooks or Tahiti!

I flew back to Nadi for a night then caught a flight to Tonga... !

Sorry but there will not be any photos right now... not able and too costly for the time it takes.. I will when I can.
