After a week of school we made our way to Levuka. We took a bus 2 hours to a boat, where our bus drove onto the boat. The boat ride was an hour and once we arrived at the island, we got back onto the bus drove two more bumpy hours. This used to the be capitol of Fiji and is the oldest city in Fiji. We stayed at the oldest hotel, which needless to say, was very creepy.
This trip was pretty cool. We went to the tuna factory which had about 800 employees on an island with a population of 8000. They are in partnership with Bumblebee tuna, so if you want to support Fiji’s economy, buy Bumblebee tuna. We weren’t allowed to go through the factory, but we walked enough inside of it to reek of tuna. We got to see a short movie on the process of packaging tuna, which was pretty cool. After that we went on a walking tour through the town and then took a truck to different churches. THe whole town smelled of tuna and we were happy when we could leave that. The first night we went out to a bar and wound up being 14 of the 20 people at the bar and danced the night away with a transvestite named Gina (harry) and her sister. The second night, after a packed full day of tuna, we went to bed early to get up the following morning at 415. We had 5 people to a room and we pushed all of the beds together because we were all scared. I woke up with another girl in the middle of the night to a horrible screeching noise that sounded like a window cracking and a water faucet turning on. This sounded like a women screaming. I didn't sleep at all that night because i was too horrified. The hotel is haunted and one of the girls claimed she saw a ghost while we were pulling out. I was very happy to leave there. Here are some pictures from that day .
