Alice's Travels
Mana Island was our last stop before coming back to Nadi. We took the yellow boat, then a smaller one to the island. The boat was called the Mana Flyer and it literally flew over the water, crashing down on every wave and was one of the most painfull experiences. The guys driving seemed to think it was amusing though.
We were really shocked when we turned up at Mereanis, it was basic to say the least and not a patch on the other islands but thats why its a slightly cheaper resort than the others. Went straight to bed on the first night for a very very hot and sticky nights sleep.
The next day was much better. We walked round to Sunset beach on the other side of the island and were literally the only people there so we swam and sunbathed and it was awesome. Got back and perhaps had a bit of heat stroke coz we didnt feel great but then met some guys off on a fishing trip that perked the mood up.
Joined the next door resort in the evening for drinks by the sea but there was no electricity making it quite difficult to see people and meet new ones. Eventually found the boys from England and drank with them well into the morning. Got to bed at 3 after a wicked night which made us view the place differently. The people here are the friendliest yet and there is a good atmosphere with all the other travellers. Think Jenny might go back again whilst she's here.
Did however, wake up with an anormous hangover which is really unpleasant in the heat and not nice travelling on boats either.
Got back to Nadi and the same hostel from a week ago. cannot explain how nice it is to be in an air-conditioned room again, to have a pool and a restaurant ets. We've been so cut off the last few days and there's been no escape from the sun.
Staying in a dorm with the same guys from Mana which is cool but I don't get a whole night coz I leave for the airport at 2am. Its much colder in New Zealand but I think thats going to be a relief. Both anxious and extremely excited about the next part of my trip alone. Will be sad to leave Jenny after so many experiences together but have got a real adventure ahead and I cant wait!!!!!!!
