[status]On anchor at Saweni Bay. Moved round here after we had had Jan's finger attended to to get away from the smoke of the Sugar cane refinery.
We originally went to the hospital but there were at least 60-70 people waiting so went to the Avenue Medical Center. The doctor there is very good and e would recommend this as preferable to going to the hospital. We were charged fj$45. The doctor said the finger looked pretty good and most of the infection was cleared up. The yellow we could see under the flap of skin that we thought was puss was in fact fatty tissue. He removed the flap of skin and told us to continue with the course of Trysul antibiotics.
So we are now off to Likuliku Bay on the NW side of Waya Is in the Yasawas.
