Fiji Day 2: Island Rain!

Today I remembered island rain.  As we got off the bus upon arriving in Suva, great big soft globs of rain landed on us, our suitcases, and our "carry-ons."  We got soaked through while gathering our belongings and getting taxis to take us to the house where we'll be staying.  Soaking wet, but not cold.  Dripping, clothes clinging, but feeling no difference in body temperature!  Amazing!

Things got a little complicated as we got out of the taxis and attempted to pull suitcases up a STEEP (Dan says about a 30-35% angle) and long driveway up to the house.  We took a step, slid back, lightened our load and tried again.  But we're here...safe and sound.  Stage 2 completed!

(A confession:  I admit I did give a little yelp yesterday when a little baby gecko flew out of a toilet paper roll.  I don't know who was more startled, him or me!)
