Ni sa moce, Fiji.

Full day of travel yesterday got me back to Melbourne near midnight. There are less 'civilized' places in the world than Fiji, but I still feel like a baby bird knocked from its nest when its coral islands fade from view.

Weather akin to a late afternoon Giants game at the Meadowlands makes this return even more bizarre. Every day in Fiji was a stint in a tropical hothouse; sitting perfectly still left me covered in patches of moisture. The air outside the terminal at Melbourne airport last night was a bracing 11 degrees C, but Aradhna's welcome home hug was warmer than midday in Savusavu ........
