Words in my head

I'm writing untill my head is spinning with words and my sentences makes no sense. It's unfortunately all for newsletters, articles and proejct planning. The Fijian youth is on board and we've been promised we leave tomorrow morning. The tour is getting shorter and shorter for me since the delay is getting longer and longer. I miss Scandinavia, cool summer, mountains, good ice cream, my friends, my family, open air cinema in wollen blankets. Maybe I'm about to have travelled enough quite soon.

The things they don't tell you about sailing

I'm back on the ship, postponed my flight till 25th of July to do the Island cruising and environment project as well. It seemed like a better idea than biking NZ South Island during winter.
I should have met the ship at Moon Reef north of Ovalau a week ago. We're still in Suva. We might leave on Monday. Everything is not organized. We're supposed to both pay for sailing, and work aboard and now do project work as well as I've gotten to write about the project. That's three jobs.
The chef's considered leaving, I've considered leaving, I miss my husband and frustrations abound. We hope sailing will cler the atmosphere. Otherwise I'll go play backpacker.

Romance in Fiji

We're terribly busy being romantic on palm clad islands with fringing reefs and sandy white beaches. There's not terribly much internet, and anyway I'm too busy lounging about in hammocks, going diving in the equivalent of a live fish tank, reading books in hammocks, going on jungle trecks and having amazing meals with the beloved one.

It's beautiful, everyone is friendly, it's easy to travel here, the climate is great, it's cheap and I don't want to go home, so I changed my flight and am staying til 24th of July, continuing on Alvei rather than to bike about NZ in the winter rain and cold.

I promise pictures to come at some unknown future point, but it may possibly not be before another week's time.Now I have to go have muffins for breakfast.

the world's most irresponsible blogger.
