EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

Bula, Fiji - on a shoestring!

I started my Fiji adventure with a minor offense. Entry required a proof of return or onward trip. As I wanted to stay flexible I put my photoshop skills to the test and forged an outbound flight confirmation. It worked like a charm and I was ready for some nice sandy beaches. Everyone recommended booking an island hopping trip across the Yasawa islands and that’s what I wanted to do. Until I checked the price tag which was outrageously outside of my budget or frankly anyone else’s who wasn’t the CEO of an international company with their shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In hindsight that was great which let me explore places off the beaten path. I had to adjust my plans and opted to go to the minuscule Beachcomber island just a stone’s throw from the airport and then known as Fiji’s party island. The gorgeous islet’s only resort featured a comfy one hundred man dorm (no joke), which was open air! Thank god it was low season and the dorm was “only” a quarter full. Given the limited space, very quickly a family atmosphere arose among the backpackers. There were common dinners, card games and in the evening also debauched parties. One highlight was certainly the hermit crab race, where you could choose a crab that represented your country.

There I also met Raj, a young, very shy local guy, who worked on the piping system. We chatted every day and once his job on the island was done, he invited me to his home. He stayed with his family in Ba, a small town in the northwest of the main island. I actually had no plans to travel to this area, but an opportunity like this doesn't come along every day, so I accepted the invitation, albeit cautiously. 

Before that, however, I decided to explore Mana island just a short but expensive boat ride to the west. The island was considerably bigger than Beachcomber and even featured an airstrip but again there was only one place to stay which was thankfully relatively affordable, three meals per day included. It’s been eight years and somehow I remember the especially tasty homemade bread rolls. I spent my days enjoying the pristine white beach, crystal clear blue waters and accompanying locals for a spearfishing session to a nearby sandbank. Did I mention the most spectacular sunsets ever? I didn't have a romantic date at hand. However meeting Nicolas, a very friendly Swiss dude from my hometown on the other side of the world on this remote island, was more than a worthy replacement. To this day I have three framed pictures hanging on my bedroom wall, one of which is from that paradise beach. 

Back on the main island, Viti Levu, I hopped on the overcrowded bus and arrived in Ba in “no” time. Bus rides in Fiji are something else. First of all, there’s always loud music blasting throughout the vehicle. Thank God, it mostly matched my music taste (unlike the dull, unoriginal, lazy, sloppy, repetitive, reductive (to quote Madonne here: “look it up”) and unbelievably enervating Reaggaton nonsense I have to endure right now here in Latin America). I mean, I was delighted to hear such masterpieces like “Gotta Go” by your very own local matador and Swiss Eurovision sensation Dj Bobo, then still untattooed teen heartthrob lesbian Justin Bieber or the actually lovely song called Kuchi Kuchi by Nigerian gospel artiste J’odie. While on stayed a couple of nights at a super remote hostel where the bus to reach said hostel had its final destination and it was always the same driver and in those places a bus arriving is a major event during the day. Back in those days the music was played from a USB stick, so I had a little conversation with the bus driver and what can I say, I am the proud owner of THE hottest February 2014 Fiji public transport music collection, period! Second, the bus seats are plastized so you either stick like glue to them or slide around in a pool of your own ass-sweat. Grandma Yetta from the Nanny highly approves though! IN addition, some of them don’t (or can’t?) switch their headlights on at night and are as fast as Usain Bolt with diarrhea spotting a toilet. I once got almost run over by one of them but the driver was kind enough to stop and give me a lift. It’s not everyday you run amok in a bus with breakneck speed at night while “Like, Baby, baby, baby, no” is ripping your eardrums apart.

Anyway, my stay with Raj’s family was something to be remembered. They are Indo-Fijians and were extremely welcoming. I had my own room and Raj’s mother would go to great lengths to prepare great meals for me. However and obviously, my eating habits got in the way. They couldn’t believe I didn't eat chicken (let’s be honest, whoever reads this doesn’t either). I was asked a thousand times if I might eat it prepared in this or that way. My pitiful attempts to point out that I “was” a veggie didn’t help either. Raj’s father was a serious man and visibly proud of their property. They grew their own passion fruits, starapples, coconuts, lime and sugarcane, all of which I was offered to taste. They knew Switzerland from various Bollywood movies and said it’s what paradise must be like. Sort of what we think when we hear “Fiji”. In the evenings Raj and his friends introduced me to Kava, Fiji’s national drink. Basically it's a mildly narcotic and sedative drink made from the crushed root of the yaqona strained with water. It is served in a large communal bowl as part of the traditional kava ceremony. When drunk, it creates a numb feeling around the mouth, lips and tongue, as well as a sense of calm and relaxation. The taste is unpleasant to say the least. Also it aptly resembles sewage water. But hey, when in Rome. 

After a couple of days it was time to move on. I decided to get Padi certified in advanced diving and Fiji was obviously the place to be. The rather remote island Taveuni to be precise. A quick 18 hour overnight ferry ride would do the trick of getting there. An excellent choice of transportation if it wasn’t for my stingy attitude. No way I would be paying for an expensive first class seat or god forbid a 20 Dollar mattress. Sleeping on the actual floor it is. The fact that the entire Fiji population has a serious snoring problem didn’t help either. Fiji’s “Garden” island didn’t disappoint. The diving was spectacular, yes. The adrenaline-inducing natural Waitavala water slides and the Lavena coastal walk featuring spectacular double-waterfalls and natural pools at Bouma National Park however were no less fascinating (thanks Udo for bringing the GoPro along). That was also the only time I hitchhiked, which involved asking some guards for directions, who were standing at the side of the road and supervising prisoners doing push-ups. At the hostel I was yet again invited for an evening kava session by three elderly locals, who decided that bad-ass synthesizer sound would be the perfect music backdrop. Obviously I ended up being the last man standing, or rather sitting. As a result I was offered beer (perfect, more alcohol) and “abducted” to the beach. Speaking of the beach, in a moment of insanity, and because the hostel provided amateur fishing rods, I somehow decided to try fishing by myself during low-tide, on razor-sharp rocks with nothing but bread crumbs which immediately dissolved once submerged. Needless to say that I almost strangled myself with the fishing line. And no fish were even close to being harmed in that pathetic process. 

My last stop in Fiji was tiny Caqalai island. I have no recollection of how Katja, a girl I met on the infamous ferry back to the capital Suva, and I decided to check this gem out, but I am glad we did. Google doesn’t even show it on their maps service and getting there was no easy task. The island hosts just one resort consisting of a restaurant and four simple yet charming huts with straw roofs. Electricity was exclusively provided through a mobile solar panel and battery, just enough to charge our phones. The weather was rather unstable so we mostly spent our days reading. On the rare sunnier days we snorkeled around the beautiful intact reef and I practiced climbing palm trees and picking fresh coconuts. One day I helped the entire island population of men (like four-ish) salvaging a half-sunken boat, another I decided to swim to a sandbank, all by myself. Katja was worried for me so she made me tie a buoy to my waist. One always underestimates distances when swimming. It took a whopping 30 minutes to reach the bank, so I was glad she insisted.

After a month of Fijian paradise it was time to cross the date line and fly back in time to Los Angeles. My Fiji adventure ended as it had started; with a thrill. Getting to the airport meant a private boat transfer to the main island and a public bus (again). Once on the bus I believed myself to be safe but at some point it halted and wouldn’t move for ages. Due to the persistent rainy weather the main road was partially washed away! Gone, adios, see you never. Unfortunately Sandra Bullock was unavailable to get behind the steering wheel, accelerate over 50 miles an hour and drive over the huge gap. A considerable detour later and several near-nervous breakdowns, I just about managed to catch my flight to L.A. where I met up with relatives and had the most bizarre Hollywood Boulevard experience.

October 12, 2024 - Taveuni Silktail (Lamprolia victoriae) These birds in the fantail family live in rainforests, logged forests, and plantations on the island of Taveuni in northern Fiji. They feed on worms and small arthropods, foraging alone or in small groups in trees, on the ground, and sometimes in short flights. Breeding from June to January, they build large nests from fibers, vine tendrils, rootlets, and bark, sometimes decorating them with mosses and liverworts and often lining them with feathers. Females lay a single egg. They are classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN due mostly to habitat loss from logging.

12. Liz Tuttle / Damocles

Summary: Far from the UK, Liz Tuttle does a divination card reading.

Chapter index - previous chapter (Poppy Pomfrey) - next chapter (Irma Pince)

"Liz, are you sure? My sister is safe?"

After another glance at the tarot cards on the table, the witch nods as she pushes her round glasses up her nose. Beatrice has changed a lot in a few months. Her English rose skin has taken on a lovely shade of apricot with freckles, blonde locks have lightened under the Taveuni sun, and the sharp eye she used to have on the world has become blunted by contact with the Fijian people.

Their sweetness of life, the warmth of their smiles melted the umbrageous gangue that Beatrice had surrounded herself with since the kidnapping of her older sister.

"And Ismelda?"

Liz takes another card draw and shakes her head negatively. Warned by Ismelda Murk that the Haywood family was the next target of a faction of Death Eaters and werewolves, they were in the midst of preparations to flee the country when Penny was snatched from them. Miraculously, the rest of the family escaped, but the violence of the attack left Beatrice's parents in a prolonged state of sideration, forcing her to take charge of their departure. Seeking to get as far away from the bloodthirsty pack as possible, Beatrice gathered all their savings, and the family moved to Fiji where they were welcomed with open arms by Liz Tuttle. But the witch is constantly worried about her former friend, now a Death Eater.

Ismelda has always taken an unhealthy pleasure in the morbidity and suffering of all life forms: muggles, creatures, and even wizards. Provocations for attention, it seems... It has never made her cruelty any less real, and it has always deeply offended Liz, who is hardly surprised to see her fellow Slytherin embracing supremacist ideals. This is a recurring point of contention with Beatrice, who believes there is still hope, seeing Ismelda's warning as irrefutable evidence of lingering inner light.

For Liz, Ismelda Murk is one of those intolerant people who are sometimes kind in the name of "People like you are the scum of the earth and should be eliminated, but you're not! You, I like you!".

What happens when she is up against the wall and her affection comes into direct conflict with her deleterious ideals? Despite her poor social skills, Liz fears she knows the answer. That's why the magizoologist has opposed any idea of returning home, despite Beatrice's recurring urge to save her sister. In the UK, her blood status alone can condemn her to death.

So the Haywood family enjoys the island of Taveuni, a beautiful lush garden with waterfalls and gently rocked by the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean. But the archipelago's major attraction for Liz is not really the beauty of its landscapes. Fiji is a peaceful world where wizards, muggles and magical creatures live together in harmony. All share the same culture and all welcome the visitor, no matter what their background, with smiles from ear to ear. The country and its ancestral way of life made a powerful impression on the child she was when she first visited the archipelago.

This is why she hastened to settle there as an adult. Fijian society is an example for Liz Tuttle to follow, and she wishes to discover the foundations of such a harmonious society that respects the needs of each species. She hopes to be able to adapt them to the Western world. A goal that is the opposite of any supremacist's.

Beatrice frowns before wiping the disappointment from her face.

"I'm going to tell Mum and Dad the good news... Are you meeting us at the Luau?"

The question feels like a stab in Liz's chest. At that moment, she considers revealing the terrible battle that is taking place at the same time in their homeland, but then she changes her mind. Let her enjoy the Luau!

These festivities, where all the inhabitants share a traditional meal, with music, dancing and performances where Muggle fire dancers share the stage with fire crabs, are some of the best celebrations in the South Pacific islands. For Liz, the Luau is a symbol of a true ideal of life.

"I'll do some more card reading and join you," she says, lifting the coconut half-shell filled with an earthy liquid.

"I'll never understand how you can swallow that stuff!"

"You get used to it," Liz says philosophically. "Even though I admit to enjoying its effects more than its taste,"

"The opposite would be surprising. It's bitter with a horrible earthy taste!" Beatrice says with disgust.

Lacking the inner eye, the magizoologist lacks her mother's talent for divination. Liz consumes Kava to make up for this handicap. The anaesthetic and deeply relaxing properties of this local plant root-based beverage sharpen her awareness and ensure the correct interpretation of messages from fate.

Thus, she can say that Penny is on a journey to safety.

But destiny is not immutable, set in stone. Every man holds his own in the palm of his hands. So, every day, Liz asks a question of the fortune-telling cards. Every day, the same question. The same question for each of the twenty members of the Circle of Khanna: Annie, Ben, Merula, Badeea, Talbott, Diego, Andre, Beatrice, Penny, Tulip, Jae, Barnaby, Chiara, Ismelda, Tonks, Bill, Charlie, Fred, George and herself.

Since she began this agonising ritual, the answers are invariably the same, hanging on the date of 2 May like multiple swords of Damocles.

At the end of the Luau, the Circle of Khanna will have only thirteen members.
