We have just enjoyed another long weekend for
In the days leading up to the weekend there was some confusion over whether we would have 2 holidays (Monday and Tuesday) or just Monday. A week out my boss rang the relevant government department and was told that Monday only was a public holiday, but then on the Thursday before the weekend there was an official announcement that Monday and Tuesday had both been declared public holidays, so we ended up with a four day weekend. We still can’t get over the fact that no one can confirm which days are holidays until a couple of days before the event!
This time last year we had only just arrived and were invited to take part with USP as they joined in the march as part of the celebrations. Although it was a long day we enjoyed taking part and then stayed to watch a lot of the cultural performances from the various schools and villages. This year USP weren’t marching and we had a number of other things on to fill in our long weekend, including: va’a racing, 5km fun run, netball, sewing, gardening…
Over the next few days we will try to post some of what we did during the weekend.
