Cyclone Evan

We all know that Fiji - along with Samoa and The Wallis & Futuna Islands - took a nasty battering by Cyclone Evan this week.  It's all very sad looking through the photos of the damage, but nothing tore the heart out of me more than this:

Nooooooo!

That's Tata's Restaurant, the place that serves absolutely the BEST curry-roti in Nadi. It's always first up on our list of where-to-eat whenever we arrive in town.  In fact, let me show you a shot from our visit to Nadi in July this year:


That's us at Tata's Restaurant, with Molly checking out the photos Baby Jane took with her new Nikon - which were all vastly superior to mine.

We'd just hit town and Molly, who'd just picked us up, said "What do you want to do first?" and we're all immediately "Tata's!"  simultaneously ... apart from Talei who'd never been to Nadi before and didn't know the low-down.

So, yes, undoubtedly Tata's is a Nadi LEGEND ... and now this has happened.  So very very heart-wrenching indeed.

So good luck with the rebuild Tata.  I have no doubt that you'll be up-and-running and serving up the BEST curry-roti in Nadi again in no time.

Well it isn't *that* bad. Basic structure is still there. Simple tin roof repair really. Nothing more as far as I can see. Have it fixed int a day most likely.

I would have never recognized Molly.

Just a thought.
