On Friday, the Ship docked at Fiji. We took the Holland America tour ($99.95 US) leaving at 9 am and the tour lasted 4 1/2 hours.
We drove by a mountain - the Sleeping Giant - and
then went to the city of Nadi, where we toured a Hindu temple from across the
street.
After about twenty minutes, we went to Jack's Souvenir Shop - two floors. Everything you could possibly want for a souvenir, and lots made in Fiji.
Then a tour around town, and then to the Boatshed, a
resort which was right besides the ocean, so a nice breeze – fruits and a pop
were included here. Besides being a
relaxing spot, the native men put on a show about skinning a coconut. When we first started out on the bus, there
was so much garbage on the highway, but if you ignore that, this turned out to
be a nice tour (Tip $5 Aus). 
After about twenty minutes, we went to Jack's Souvenir Shop - two floors. Everything you could possibly want for a souvenir, and lots made in Fiji.
For dinner, I had Ceaser salad, short ribs with black pudding (did not care for that), and for dessert, raspberry mousse tort, and a vodka matinee.
April 15th was a sea day, and so was the second April 15th. On the first day, we crossed the International Date Line, which gave us the extra day, which we lost while flying to Auckland.
For dinner on the first sea day, strawberry soup,
molasses lamb chops and for dessert, carrot cake. And on the second sea day, Jumbo shrimp
cocktail, chicken soup, duck with scalloped potatoes and cabbage, and for
dessert, linzer tort.Tapioca is grown here in Fiji....
