Dear Friends and Family,
Today, we crossed the International Date Line and are now officially in the Eastern Hemisphere!
We had a long motor boat ride yesterday from Vanuabalavu to the north tip of Taveuni Island and this morning we left early and headed to the anchorage where
we could literally stand in \”yesterday, today and tomorrow\” at the International Date Line. The \”line\” only passes through three countries in the world!
Antarctica, Russia and Fiji! We now have photos of both Nikki and me standing on the Greenwich Mean Line (The Prime Meridian in England) and now the International Date Line (The Anti Meridian). Photos to be forthcoming soon as Fiji should have excellent internet.
We\’re safely on a mooring in Savusavu and we\’ll check in to Fiji sometime tomorrow morning.
KIT!!!
Scott and Nikki
