Nandi


Today I took a long boat ride and a long bus ride in order to spend a short time (30 minutes) in the city of Nandi.

From what I could see in such a short, errand filled visit, Nandi seems like the nicest large town/city I've seen in Fiji so far. It seems clean, has nice modern stores and is well-run. Nevertheless, Nandi is still a very small town by USA standards. It is relatively easy (and safe) to jaywalk across the busiest street in town. Stoplights and crosswalks were not seen by this writer. Surely there is much more to see and do in Nandi. I'll be spending much more time in Nandi and be making updated reports/observations.

The picture is of George participating in a "Tribal Night" festivity at of Robinson Crusoe Island.

I've been reading your blogs for the past month or so and have to say they have quite an inspiring effect on me.
Wishing you fantastic journeys!
Thanks!

PS...who is George?

George is a young man of Hungarian ancestry who has been traveling the world for several years. He answered an ad I placed for a crewman wanted just before I departed Hawaii. Although he had no prior sailing experience, he has proven to be very helpful throughout the trip.
