Happy birthday Melanie.
The best laid plans of mice and men.
Grumps and Leigh came down with Fiji’s version of Bali Belly – and no, it was not self inflicted.
After both of them spent several hours in the bathroom from the early hours of the morning, an attempt was made to eat breakfast which was not that successful.
After not very long, it was decided to cancel the waterfall walk and the two men headed back to their rooms from which neither emerged until lunch time. Lunch was met with the same success as breakfast and saw both men return to their rooms for much of the afternoon. A group discussion over lunch could not identify the cause of the affliction which only affected the men, so food poisoning was discounted as all four ate at the same places at the same time. Bit of a mystery....
Both left their rooms to go snorkelling with the ladies for about an hour and then another attempt to eat dinner was made. The pair of them was back in bed by around 8pm.
This meant that the two ladies, who suddenly found themselves free of the interference of two grumpy spouses, were free to do what they wanted – and they danced the night away.
All in all though, a bit of a disappointing day; particularly as it is our last full day.
