From Fiji to New Zealand

Levuka City

A ministerial building in Fiji

01/04/2012
The last days of 2011 we spent on Ovalau and Suva, two of the many Fiji Islands, in scorching heat, but a totally crime-free zone. So it was at least said on the sign of Levuka town whose main street would suit
as a Western like "noon". Accordingly unspectacular was the building of the Interior Ministry! Particularly, we have enjoyed in Fiji, a combined long-boat and bamboo raft trip down the Navua River. In the mountains, the river is fed by numerous waterfalls, where you can also go swimming, which gave us a refreshing change in cold, fresh water.

New Year's Eve and New Year again on the high seas! Our special wishes for the New Year we had listed neatly and pinned to the ship's Christmas tree, which was then solemnly buried on New Year's eve by 12 o'clock with music and pageantry at sea. So, all our wishes may come true. And with them the Amway business is going to explode soon formally - and that will hopefully include your business as well!

Then we left the tropics behind us and made a detour to the remote Norfolk Islands, known for its pine trees and also because there the descendants of the mutineers of the "Bounty" are living there. Tourists are scarce there, and after a long hike along the cliffs, we were surprised that we were ever able to drop anchor here and land.

Today, we have now arrived at the extreme northern tip of New Zealand, the Bay of Islands. We strolled through the historic town of Waitangi, Paihia and Russell, which we all knew already from the past from our guest speakers. And promptly, we were immediately 'unmasked' as Crown Ambassador on land. The Amway world had us again, and we were happy about it!
