Jumping ship - still here

I've jumped ship tih the cheaf, and it's over a week ago, but we've lolled about on a beach where internet is a thing of the future. After close to four months of sailing we had had enough  ship and gone on land. We hopped of in Taveuni and didn't get further than 100 meters away from the landing spot, before we found beverleys campground, which is a little slice of paradise. There's no hot water, only generator electricity, fantastic snorkelling right by the beach which you are at and you can kayak to the shop, various hidden beaches and villages. It's so fantastic we ended up staying for  week rather than a few days. Now we're in Savusavu, which is a little disappointing after Taveuni, but quite alright. It's just that all the other tourists are spoiling the feel and there's no beach to go snorkelling. And Fiji towns aren't that much.

Tomorrow we're heading to Labasa on the northern side of Vanua Levu, probably back to Savusavu and then I might go to Ba to visit mrs Kumar, on a tour into the highlands of Fiji, and back to SUva to say hi to Alex, get some souvenirs and send them home with all the other things I don't need and then fly out from Nadi the 24th.
