Sunday morning, we woke up and hung around for a couple hours listening to the loud singing from a church down the street before getting on the boat to head back to Suva.
The ride back was pretty much the same as the first, except it was raining most of the time instead of gorgeous and sunny. Our terrible movie selections included 2012: Doomsday and some other crap concerning volcanoes. At night I snuck up to first class with a couple friends since first class consists of padded benches where you can actually lay down and sleep, which was a total luxury after trying to get comfortable in our seats. We got back in to Suva around 6am, at which point I studied for a few hours for a Fijian oral exam that was then moved to Friday...of course.
I wish we got to spend more time on Taveuni. I didn't even have time to go diving, which was one of the main attractions of coming here, but there was a lot of cool stuff here to check out just for the three days that we were there. The group of Americans with the Wisconsin program went to an island called Qamea where they saw banded iguanas, so I absolutely have to come back to check that out. Despite the 0 amount of sleep that I got and the heat and humidity without fans or mosquito coils, I think that this was my favorite place in Fiji. It's not touristy at all, it's beautiful, and everything is genuine. I really loved getting to come here for a few days, but I'm definitely coming back later in my stay here.
