Chapter 6 - Fiji - alone, but not lonely

I spent today snorkeling. This is one of the best things I’ve gained from this trip, looking through this tiny window on the watery world that covers so much of our globe. Now that I’ve done it a few times I feel much more in control, and I hate having to interrupt to get more sunscreen. I didn’t go in for lunch with the others. This world was far too interesting. And I needed to be on my own today.

More of the same tonight. Dancing, drinking, flirting. The novelty is wearing off. I pleaded sunburn this time to go back to the room early, which was pretty well the truth as my back was rather pink despite the gallons of SPF 30 I’d put on it throughout the day. Another night on my own to read my books and think my thoughts. But I can’t settle with my book tonight and even my thoughts are distracted, so I turned in early.
