I know these are long overdue, but I've finally found an internet connection fast enough to allow me to upload photos. Like I said, the past three months have been a trip... so here are a few images to document a bit of where I've been roaming in Fiji, including some of Savusavu, my new home.... enjoy.

The last 3 months have been quite an adventure. Ever since the burglary incident in Suva, I've been on the move, looking for a site to live in, where there is work to be done. I finally moved to Savusavu, a sleepy bay town, where a bunch of yachties stop in to dock their boats. But the move here hasn't been easy. There's been a lot of persistence on my part, a lot of ups and downs, a lot of searching around and failing and moving around the main island to the north... needless to say, Its been a trip!
It feels good to have a place to call home for the next 19 months, even though my new indian neighbors are SO bloody loud! i constantly hear now , the playing of the loudest bollywood music, crying babies, mothers yelling and the father' gagging himself with his toothbrush at night. But all of these I can handle. It's the damn chickens/ roosters that drive me insane! They start cock-a doodle-doing at 2 AM. What the hell!!!??? I thought they only crowed in the morning! But last night, they woke me up at two am. And they sit right outside my window, They went off like perfectly synchronized alarms... first at 2 am, then at 3:00 , then at 4:00 am... (How the hell am I ever going to get any sleep? ) Finally, at 4:00 am I got up and i was SO pissed off I actually yelled at the roosters. SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! then I lay back in bed and thought to myself.. Did I really just yell at the roosters? I did. And they didn't care, they kept on cock a doodle doing all they wanted. I had a dream in the little fragments of sleep i got between each alarm went off... I actually had a dream that I was trying to kill the chickens. First I threw the tops of tuna cans at them, slinging them at the chickens like ninja stars... then I had a shotgun, but it had no bullets, still I was aiming for the chickens and kept pulling the trigger... Then I woke up again to their annoying sound. Finally, at around 6 am... i got up, pissed off as hell and threw a coconut at them. I actually hit one! and they scattered. I was all proud of myself, i went back to bed feeling like... ok, now i can finally get some sleep... but as soon as i closed my eyes.. they were back at my window... claiming their revenge and squealing at he top of their lungs... yes, I've arrived, I'm finally home.
