Adventures in the South Pacific - Issue 14

Brian, Jess, and I headed into Lautoka with Tom, the young New Zealand guy I mentioned earlier, and Melva and Steve who cruise on the sailing vessel Mary Powell. We all piled into Abdul's small taxi and asked him for a dinner suggestion in town. He had us eat at Tiger's. The restaurant and the food was nothing to write home about.

Abdul dropped us off a couple of blocks from our destination. Along the way we window shopped seeing several gorgeous Indian outfits for both men and women. We stopped in at one shop that was actually open and Brian got yet another island shirt. I got an adorable dress - perfect for dancing - not an Indian design.

The next day Tom said his goodbye's. As he was leaving, he said he had a sore throat, swollen glands, and just didn't feel that well. He was headed to a doctor. This illness, whatever it was, later came to haunt Jess and I.
