3 cows and 3 pigs to feed 800?
ReplyDeleteMust be filling up with dalo and cassava then!
That's about 1500 lbs of beef and maybe 500 lbs of pig meat. Plenty I'd say. I wonder what the doctors would say....

Yes nzm and panda - I thought you would see the irony in it. Hospitality is a splendid aspect of life in Fiji - caring for visitors and strangers.

And, Peceli sent an email this evening. Didn't join in with the meeting and feasting on Bau Island, but spent the day with the grandchildren and took them to see relatives in a village. It's school holidays in Fiji at present, so he's so lucky to be with these beaut kids who are nine and seven.
