The day started with a trip to a random waterfall. Ta took us in his hardcore truck and we stayed there for 2 hours! We played on this rope swing and explored the area until Ta picked us up at 2 pm. On the way home Ta dropped us off in “town” and we met up with our sister to shop and walk around until we were satisfied. When we got back to the house we found out that our water got shut off and none of us could take showers which was a little sad at first since we’d been playing in the lake all day but we got over it pretty quickly when we remembered how lucky we were to be in Fiji. Our of nowhere our host family came in and gave us gifts to remind us “not only of them but of Fiji and our home there”. We waiting until the last minute before our big dinner with all the host families to see if we could shower but the water didn’t come back on in time. Instead we made our families jello shots and they loved them! We ended up being an hour late for the dinner but it wasn’t a huge deal because we were on “Fiji Time” (which is late. Always.)
We finally made it to dinner and one of the families asked us to sing a song for our families so naturally we chose "hot and cold" by Katy perry. Great impression of Americans.
After dinner we went to a club called Liquids and danced until the songs got old. When we got tired of Liquids we made our way to a club called O'Rileys and danced more. We finally left around 2 am and grabbed a taxi to get home. While driving home we saw some police (the first police we'd seen the entire trip!) and ended up getting pulled over! We had no idea why until the driver told us we had too many people in the cab and he was getting fined $100. He was so mad at us but I clearly informed him that he could have refused us when we got in the car in the first place! We finally made it home and ended up paying extra for the cab since he managed to keep the meter running while he was being pulled over. My head finally hit the pillow at 3 am, just in time to get 6 hours of sleep before the bus left for Nadi at 8! Successful night.
