Its offical Ben can sleep on planes but I certainly can't, 1.5 sleeping tablets later I look like shit and sitting here like a Zombie by the way Sheree your right its freezing in here. Over half way into flight 03:25 your time 08:25 Vegas time! Looks like I'm not far away from being served scrambled eggs and bacon or is that just my imagination? I can certainly smell something brewing!
These Fijians are amazing, huge smiles even at this time of day, just beautiful beautiful people. Not sure about the whole Fiji experience though - sure we experienced all of 5 minutes outside - but christ the humidity!!! while it was only 23 degrees out we were both sweating it out like Ben after a session with Jerry. By the way everyone LOVES our shirts, but they like me more due to having the new collar on mine haha, cheers Mum and Dad for loaning us one that was a great idea, the Fijians are HUGE All Black fans. As for the Police Uniforms, we didn't get a photo but will try on the way back, can certainly see a few of you strutting your stuff in them.... white what I can only describe as a surong with pointed edges ( much like triangle flags) all seems very casual but I guess the military deal with alot of things.
To elaborate a bit more on the shopping at Nadi Airport, we certainly found a few odd habbits. They seem to have an obsession with their genitals and sex, every carving we found was along this theme, some photos to come, although we didn't get to photograph the "pairs" in various sex positions, there were literally hundreds of these things.
Then i wrote this when i was awake :p
Up, up and away!
As soon as we got on the plane it was apparant to me that this way going to be an interesting flight, Infact, I think both Kylie and I had a pretty good idea even beforehand.
Sitting in Fiji airport, nice and quiet, doing the odd bit of shopping. Then the silence is broken by the cackling of an American... I am led to believe that these things are largely land based mammal's but you couldnt be critised for thinking that their evolutionary path is more closely linked to that of the whale.
Big, Loud and seldom good for anything other than the odd photo opportunity :)
It is amazing to see how many of these types stroll up to the boarding gate and ask if they are boarding yet... because everyone likes sitting around airports doing nothing at 10pm...
Then when the nice Fijian man ask everyone from rows 69-41, walking onto the plane and seeing people holding up everyone else so they can sit in row 20. Kylie had to bite her tongue!
Pop a few sleeping pills, couple more, for jet lag, one for my mutliated gum and we're ready to sleep :)
We lucked out and picked window seats on the right hand side of the plane, 3 average sized seats tucked neatly together to create cattle class. However, to both our delight, there is noone in the seat next to us. So we have been taking turns sleeping on eachothers laps, stretched out and not too unfomfortable to tell the truth!
As I write this the computer tells me its 5:05am, Los Angeles time is 10:04... yesterday... so forgive any confusion haha.
