Fiji - day 6

With Todd on the mend, we figured we’d get out and amongst it (a little).  So, we started with a coffee and juice at a little shop down the road. They happened to have a spa right next door, so Todd and I took turns getting 30-minute back massages while the other person hung out and had snacks and played games with Gordy. 

Next, we visited Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, which is a famous Hindu temple.  Gordy asked a lot of questions about religion while we were there and I decided I should read up a little bit about Hinduism before I take him to another Hindu temple.

We then did a reconnaissance mission to Port Denarau to look into a day trip to another island.  The parking situation at the harbor was not great, so quickly jumped out, grabbed some flyers and then ran out in time to hop back in the car when Todd came around a second time.  We have no day trip scheduled, but we are considering booking one for another day.

Todd was pretty beat at that point, so we headed back to our hotel where we made what is now Gordy’s favorite food - a peanut better, jelly, banana and apple slice sandwich.  After our food digested a little, we went down to the hotel pool for some play time.  

As our day came to a close, we decided to rally and check out a rooftop bar and pool area where Todd read that we could watch the sunset. Turns out he was right and if not for the 20+ fires that were going on all around us (from people burning their rubbish, not brush fires) it would have been quite beautiful.

We then stopped in at a Chinese restaurant downstairs from the bar where we had a feast that included: salt and pepper tofu with garlic mince on top, stir fried broccoli, fried breadfruit, and veggie fried noodles.  It was the best meal we’ve had yet while here and thankfully, Todd was able to eat some of it!
