Fiji - day 4

Todd is still sick, but we think he’s on the mend. Without getting too graphic, everything that comes out of him is yellow/orange, so we are pretty sure that the turmeric latte was the thing that poisoned him. He’s no longer throwing up, he’s stopped shaking, and at 5pm he was able to drive us all to the supermarket and he even walked around inside and picked out some chips and a drink he thought he could consume. While Gordy and I ate our home made dinner (take 2), Todd ate a bowl of museli and took a pain killer. He’s now back in bed trying again to make some good progress.

Gordy and I had a pretty lazy day. We had breakfast, did some laundry, played in the pool, and walked to the produce market for some more bananas and to try to find some sugar cane for Gordy to try.  While we do live in Hawaii, sugar cane isn’t something we come by often and it is everywhere here. Sadly, there was no sugar cane at the market, but a nice lady told us to come back tomorrow and she’d have a piece for Gordy from a nearby farm.

For lunch, we had Indian food leftovers from last night. Then, we went on an adventure to find a nearby 25 meter pool. We found the pool through a pretty questionable area of Nadi, but it was closed due to a broken pump.  So, we turned around and headed home where we jumped in our hotel pool again.

We finished off our night with a shop at the supermarket, a home-cooked meal, and a movie night.  Tomorrow, Gordy is hoping to get to the mud pools and hot springs, so fingers crossed that Todd is recovered enough to join us.
