Charles drinks Fijian narcotic

Britian's Prince Charles sampled Fiji’s mildly narcotic drink, kava, and was presented with a roasted pig and several brightly coloured mats at an elaborate welcoming ceremony by Fijian villagers today.

Making his first official visit since 1974, Charles was greeted by Fijian President Ratu Josefa Iloilo at a traditional welcome ceremony in Viseisei village, near the western city of Nadi.
