I'm in Fiji collecting soursop seeds and getting immensely frustrated with MPI's inconsistent messaging about what process I need to follow to get them back safely tomorrow.

I'm following their actual Import Standards document which is being contradicted by the MPI chief officer at Auckland airport.

I can't imagine that's a straightforward process, even without inconsistency of messages!

I hope you get a bit of time to enjoy Fiji while you're there.

Thanks! Yes I took the kids too and did the usual tourist trips with them, they've had a great time but they're now getting quite upset about the thought of going back to school next week.

I introduced them to frozen soursop fruit and they loved it. If you've ever tried a cherimoya, it's like that but with a nice sour note to cut through the sweetness.

I've had "custard apples" (which I think are cherimoya?)... sounds great, I love exotic fruit!

That's it, yeah. Soursop is a close relative.
