Holy cow, a V8 trike? Damn, I bet that can shovel it a bit! I had no idea you were going to Fiji actually… well, I didn’t really know where you were going, but didn’t really realise you were going there! Looks lovely.

I wouldn’t be able to keep my family off those trikes either Charlie! Carl looks very fetching in his sulu, I hope they’re not like a Scotsman’s kilt though….. Actually, don’t tell me, TMI….. 🙂 xox

What a fantastic day and good on Carl for wearing a ‘skirt’. When in Rome it’s best to do as they do.

You guys really have had an incredible holiday!
I know Zulu as being a black South African ethnic group who live mostly in Kwazulu-Natal.
Have a super day Charlie.

Fiji is a lovely place to visit, I agree. I lived there for a year teaching on Volunteer Service Abroad when I was 18 – a wee while ago. I knew Bounty Island way back then but it was called Beachcomber Island. I wonder why they changed its name. The coral was fabulous back then but much of it has been killed by the pollution from the tourist boats and some other parasite. It’s such a shame.

I am not all that diplomatic at times, am I, Charlie? So sorry, but the word had nought to do with African warriors and is ‘sulu’ for sure!! Truly my apologies!! Oh, not that I would want you to be older by one single solitary year but I DO remember the weekend ‘mekes’ at Korolevu and elsewhere where one sat on the ground after watching the firepit all afternoon and ate with one’s hands!! [And had far too much rum punch and kava!!] And the dancers could get wild [especially when one was young and reasonably ‘pretty’!] and one at times thought one would be speared then and there!! That was so different from Sydney, Australia 🙂 ! Of course that was considered ‘unhygienic’ and stopped and the fun stopped with it!! Have never been sick in the Islands by the way!!

Charlie, your sense of adventure (and humor) never ceases to amaze me! Thanks for the peek at Fiji — it looks like a wonderful place to experience. Smiling at your 4th picture — Alfie looks like he’s instigating a mutiny on the way to Bounty. 😉

Is it a ‘sulu’, Eha? I thought it was a zulu. Good to have that information, thank you. And I agree you definitely need a pair of reef shoes or old sneakers because that coral along the foreshores is definitely sharp!
