Impulsive trip to Navua

Lucy and Eli during our Sunday at Navua

I woke up on Sunday morning and felt like going down to Navua to spend the day with my grandson, Eli. At first it was going to be just Lusianne and I but over breakfast, I called Mafa (my daughter in law)  who chronicled some of Eli's little antics. The phone was on speaker and grand dad heard the conversation. Before long he announces he is travelling out with us. Since Tulagi had been out most of the night before preparing for the opening of the evangelistic in the evening, I decided we would use public transport. We got to the Suva bus stand and a Sunbeam Express bus was there and due to leave in 10 minutes. We paid our tickets and were fortunate to get a whole row to sit together in. This was kinda Lusianne's first long trip on a bus and I encouraged her not to sleep but to watch the scenery as it would look different from a height. She stood most of the way, watching the scenery, the people in the bus and even the video which was showing. We arrived at the Navua  bus stand and got a taxi to the hospital.

We decided to go out for lunch and went to the nearby hotel. The time together is what I cherish although most of the food I could not eat. I started to watch the clock when we returned home as I knew we would need to leave at 5pm. I took many photos and videos to mark this trip. Will upload one when I finally manage to download them.

Our trip back to Suva was very quiet, grand-father and grand daughter both  fell asleep and left me to my thoughts. It was pretty lonely. I didn't feel like getting into conversation with the taxi driver. We finally reached home around 6pm feeling a little tired.
