Opera night in Sydney
Had a nice light meal before the opera tonight – green salad and mushroom soup. The opera “Merry Widow” was a little, sweet opera. It was a fun one to watch. The opera hall is not as big as I thought. Good view from where I sat.[...]

Connecting in Fiji
Arrived in Fiji around 4:30am. Was wondering if I can take a walk outside of the terminal. I would have to pick up my backpack. Decided to stay in. A band of 4 were singing to greet the visitors. It made the wait more interesting. Local people are friendly here. One more flight to go![...]
