Fiji Day 1, 2 or 3???

Bula! Today was arguably the longest day of all of our lives. We
landed in Nadi at 6 in the morning and went through customs and
finally got out by 7:30. The surrounding area around the airport is
completely different from San Diego. After we exited the airport, we
all crammed into two vans and headed to our hostile. As we headed to
our hostel, we were able to look at the surrounding area and children
running to their school bus. Our Fijian tour guide, Henry, answer all
of our questions about the surrounding area and gave us insight on
Fiji.

Once we got to our hostel, we ate breakfast and headed out to the
market. The feeling in the market and in Fiji is positive and kind.
Everyone says bula to us, which is a huge change from the American
culture. Being surrounded by such positivity and smiling faces makes
the long plane ride and lack of sleep worth it. While at the market,
we got the best pineapple that any of us have ever had!

When we got back to the hostel, we all threw on our bathing suits and
headed out to ocean and spent two hours playing spike ball and
volleyball. While playing volleyball, three people from Britain,
Germany, and France all asked to join the game and they played with us
for a while. After playing in the sun and due to a lack of sleep, we
all became very tired, and the meeting Nessa, our expedition leader
planned was cancelled because we were all falling asleep as she was
talking. We all headed to bed and were asleep by 9.
