Thad er nu gaman ad segja enn og aftur fra thvi ad eg er enn a lifi, og thad i Fiji. Their eru vist longu bunir ad gefa mannaat upp a batinn herna, en eg er tho buin ad kaupa mer mannaetugaffal, bara svona til oryggis ef mer bydst god steik!
Vid oldum manninn her a Fiji adallega a eyjunni Tavewa, um 4 tima sigling fra hofudborginni Nadi, og nutum okkar i solinni og sandinum. Vid fengum reyndar leidindavedur einn daginn, var eins og madur vaeri lentur a Langanesinu thegar madur leit ut um gluggann a skalanum sem vid gistum i, hellirigning og thungbuid...
Thetta var saemilega frumstaett allt saman og satt ad segja var eg komin i godan sumarbudafiling, tharna atti madur ad maeta i mat a rettum tima, thad var sungid og dansad eftir matinn og gist i kojum undir moskitonetum. Eg skodadi mjog svala nedansjavarhella, snorkladi og spokadi mig meira ad segja med hofdingjanum i thorpinu (hann reyndi heldur ekki ad borda mig).
I kvold fljugum vid til svo til Los Angeles, og thvi yfir daglinuna svokolludu, thannig ad dagurinn i dag, 24.april, er eiginlega dagurinn endalausi! Vid yfirgefum Fiji kl.22 og lendum samdaegurs a hadegi. Skondinn thessi timi, nuna er eg a Fiji en a thessum tima a morgun sem samt er eiginlega i dag verd eg i Bandarikjunum, hmmmm.... Vid erum ad ihuga ad gera e-d villt og galid eins og ad raena banka thvi ad vid eigum hvort ed er eftir ad upplifa thennan dag aftur og tha getum vid verid fyrirmyndarborgarar, eins og vid erum ad sjalfsogdu venjulega...
Yet and again, I'm still alive and very much kicking, and that being in Fiji. Apparantly they've given up cannibalism years ago, although I've invested in a cannibalism fork, just in case I'll be offered a good steak!
We've spent most of our time here in Fiji on the island Tavewa, about 4 hours sailing from the capital Nadi, and just enjoyed ourselves in the sun and sand. We did get pretty nasty weather one day, rain and wind, and felt just like home! Grey skies and pouring down, can't beat the feeling...
The place was pretty primitive and I felt like I was away at summer camp. We slept in dorms and punctuality was vital if you wanted to eat, and there was dancing and singing after every meal. I went on a really cool lime stone cave trip, snorkled and even met the chief of the village (he didn't attempt to eat me;)
Tonight we fly to Los Angeles, across the date-line, so we'll experience the 24th of april not only once but twice. We'll leave Fiji at 10 pm and arrive in Los Angeles, same day at 1 pm. This time-business is very funny, now I'm in Fiji but at the same time tomorrow, which aactually is really today, I'll be in USA, hmmm... We're considering doing something wild and crazy like robbing a bank, because we'll experience this day again tomorrow and then we'll behave like the model citizens we really are...

Update
Jaeja, aetli se ekki kominn timi a eins og eina faerslu herna. Ymislegt hefur gengid a sidan sidast, eg er buin ad slappa af og berjast vid ofurkongulaer a litilli eyju i Malasiu (Arachnophobia og John Goodman my ass, hefdud att ad sja skrimslid sem eg maetti a badherbergisgolfinu minu einn daginn), buin ad lifa lifinu i Singapore og nu el eg manninn undir nidri i Astraliu.
Singapore var alveg frabaert, thad er alveg naest uppahalds a eftir Nepal hingad til. Eg hef hingad til ekki litid a mig sem mikla borgarmanneskju en i Singapore var eg sko alveg ad fila mig (kannski svo fegin ad sleppa fra kongulonum i Malasiu, missti alveg kulid). Mjog notaleg borg, alls ekki stor og hitti eg thar fyrir skemmtilegt folk, sem er audvitad alltaf gaman.
Astralia, hvad get eg sagt? Allt sem eg bjost vid, gott vedur, sterk sol, vingjarnlegt folk og mikid af bakpokaferdalongum. Her erum vid buin ad vera i nokkra daga, fyrst i Brisbane og nu i Port Macquaere, eda hvernig svo sem madur stafar thad, sem er mitt a milli Sydney og Brisbane. A morgun tokum vid svo rutu til Sydney. Eg veit ekki hvad thad er, vissulega er eg enntha ad vinna i thvi ad rifa mig upp ur thessari ogedis lungnabolgu og er enn half sloj, en thessir dagar eru bunir ad lida i halfgerdri modu og held eg hreinlega ad thetta se algjort spennufall eftir Asiu-aevintyrid. I Asiu var hreinlega svo mikid areiti ad madur hugsadi ekki um neitt annad, og thad ad fara til Astraliu var alltaf svo agalega langt i burtu ad manni datt hreinlega ekki i hug ad sa dagur myndi nokkurn timann koma...
En her er mjog gott ad vera og vid buin ad bralla ymislegt, forum i vatnsrennibrautagard sem var bara stud og nuna rett adan var eg i koalabjarna-spitala. Ansi magnad ad berja thessi dyr augum, eru nu minni en eg hafdi gert mer grein fyrir. Eg er komin svo vel inn i lifid i Astraliu ad eg er meira ad segja buin ad testa heilbrigdiskerfid theirra! Eg hef ekki hug a thvi ad gera thetta ad vana minum i hverju landi en thegar neydin ber ad dyrum... Eg vard svo lansom ad fa annadhvort chili eda pipar i augad a hostelinu okkar i Brisbane, og madur lifandi hvad thad sveid! Helt ad augad aetladi hreinlega ad poppa ut, og gat vist litid annad en latid kikja a thetta (og vissi audvitad af yndislegu staddeyfidropunum sem laeknar luma a, o undur vestraennar laeknisfraedi tekur engan enda;). Thetta jafnadi sig nu fljotlega og vona eg ad thetta marki enda a ofarir minar i thetta sinn.
Annars oska eg vinum og vandamonnum naer og fjaer gledilegra paska og vona ad thid hafid thad oll gott. Eg aetla allavega ad gera thad. I dag er akkurat manudur i vaentanlega heimkomu, hefur mottokunefndin hafid storf? Er thad Smaralindin eda hvad? Eg hlakka allavega til ad sja ykkur...
Hello all, it's been a while and a lot's been going on. Since my last entry I've relaxed and battled giant spiders on a small Malaysian island (Arachnophobia and John Goodman my ass, you should have seen the monster I that i found on my bathroom floor one day), lived life Singapore style and currently I'm "down under" in Australia.
Singapore was great, in fact my second favourite next to Nepal so far. I've never considered myself to be much of a city person but Singapore I really liked (maybe in part because of the escape from those malaysian beasts of spiders, I really lost my cool there). It's a very nice city, doesn't feel so big and I met very nice people there, which is always fun.
And Australia, what can I say? Everything I expected, nice weather, strong sun, friendly people and lots and lots of fellow backpackers. So far, we've spent a few days in Brisbane and are now in a small town called Port Macquaere, or however you spell that, which is middle way between Sydney and Brisbane. Tomorrow we will take a bus to Sydney. The days have gone by in a bit of a haze, Asia was such a shock to the system, quite frankly we weren't sure we'd make it all the way here, but we've kept ourselves busy. We went to a watertheme park, always good fun, and today I went to a koala hospital. Magnificent creatures and wonderful to see them so upclose, smaller than I thought though...
I'm so settled in Australia that I've even tested their healthcare service! Although it should be noted I don't intend to make a habit of this in every country, but an emergency is an emergency;) Standing in the kitchen of our hostel in Brisbane, I managed to get either some chilli or pepper in my eye, and man did it sting! I was sure the eye was just about ready to pop out. It all ended in a good way and hopefully this will be the last of my misfortunes for a while...
In any case, I wish family and friends near and far a very happy easter and hope you have a nice one. I certainly intend to...
