Man, it's the World Cup!
We almost didn't notice anything about it on the islands.
Hmmm, seems to be just a marginal event in our lives after all ;)
Anyway, now we know it's the World Cup, we're happy that Germany is still in the game and of course we're keeping our fingers crossed for Jogi Loew's team.
However, what was of greater importance is the fact that our friend Rudi finally landed in Fiji after an odyssey of over 58 hours from Frankfurt, via Hong Kong and New Zealand.
The South Sea is on the other side of the globe and is therefore one of the furthest destinations from Germany, but 58 hours was a unique record. First the plane broke down in Frankfurt, then there were only connecting flights in Hong Kong via New Zealand.
But now Rudi is here and from the second day he already said that even this extremely long journey was worth it. Well, there are still 2 weeks ahead of us ;)
