Muckety Muck!

Ahhh, the wonders of the Fijian Islands are vast and ready to be experienced by Alesha.  This weeks topic is wallowing like a pig in mud - black mud.  One of the items on the list of things to do in Fiji is getting a mud bath while on the Viti Levu island. The Sabeto Mud Pool is located in the shadow of The Sleeping Giant, a mountain range which can be seen everywhere in Nadi. This mud pool is between the major cities Nadi and Lautoka.  The process, and I am finding that it is always a process in Fiji, goes something like the following -
After you pay a small admission fee to Sabeto villagers you enter one of the geothermal mud pools. You then soak for an hour or so in the warm black mud which is rumored to have therapeutic benefits. (Concern- do you get mud in your...privates? Hmm..) Once you have finished luxuriating  in the mud like Miss Piggy you climb out and coat yourself in the thick pasty paste.  You stand in the sun to let it dry - in like a head to toe (minus your who-ha) mud pack. Then it is back in to a clean warm pool to wash off the healthy muck.  Can you say body facial ladies & gentlemen? 

Did I mention that they serve the lickey also known as alcoholic beverages?  So you get the benefits of being a kid playing in the mud while also having the advantage of being an adult of legal drinking age to enhance the experience.  Yay Grown Ups!


I am not pregnant today.  I have not done anything to be pregnant today except to pray to God to be pregnant soon... but I think God will help me after I help myself a bit - to some sperm.  Can you say fast healthy swimmers?


Peace, blessings, and pregnancy.
