BULA! (Hello in Fijian)
However im actually not in Fiji anymore, Im in Auckland NZ but internet prooved very limited on the Fiji Islands and then very expensive on the mainland so much so thast my computer ran out half way through my blog and i couldnt afford to top it up.
Wow...how can i put my 10 days in Fiji into this one little Blog?...
Well Katie and I arrived in Nadi Fiji, very early in the morning, at like 5am and couldnt check in til 12...not happy, however we felt the heat as soon as we got of the plane (in the dark) and the hostel was nice, it had a swimming pool then it opened out onto the beach, a bit like the front row of Tamarit or something. Tjough the mainland beaches were a bit grey and the weather dull sonot what we had expected straight away. We went to bed early that night as we were jet lagged and i mean early, like 5 pm lol then the next day we asked if we could down grade from r private room to a dorm which cost the same cos the quietness off Fiji compared with Lively LA was getting a bit boring so after going shopping with an American Rasta named Andrew we went to smugglers hostel next door to watch some fire dancing which was amazing then wondered up to the drift in Bar where we met Matt and Lewis...2 guys from Guildford who were on the same boat to the Bula Islands with us in the morning...we had a few Fiji golds then went to bed as had an early start.
The next day we caught the bus to the port then caught the boat with matt and Lewis and set of to Coral View...It was nice here, the accomidation was probably one of the best, we stayed in a 20 bed dorm lol but with not much of a beach, Katie lewis matt and I went Kayaking to Blue Lagoon ( a neighbouring Island) the next day. The boys got corss with me and katie cos we had windows in the bottom of our kayaks for looking at fish and kept stopping to look at blue star fish and to this day im still adiment that i saw a sting ray even tho knowone beleives me and the Fijian say they dont get them in Fiji. we stayed 2 nights at Coral view, 1 because we didnt arrive there till late they day before and 2 because we were waiting for some people we met in LA to catch us up. We waited for the Bula Boat, not sure whether our LA friend would be oln ther but alas they were and we all moved onto White sandy beach together leaving Matt and Lewis (who turned out to know tom from rugby) small world behind. we had tryed to go to long beach, where we were gunna meet up with matt and lewis the next day again but it was full.
White sandy beach, i didnt much like, some of our group say it was there favourite. We were now in a group of 9, me, katie, tom, david, sophie, rachel, emma jack and amy. me amy and katie were in a dorm together and it was gross, we were the only ones not to hav mosquito nets and holes in our windows and we only had a bath which we shared with cocroaches! so i had a shower in tom and daves room (who had somehow managed to upgrade to a suite) cos they had no more room in the dorms. we realised that coral vou, the nivcer resort where everyone else had gone was a 100 yd dwon the beach. but looking back it was quite funny. there was no power wen u most needed it, we got eaten alive by sand flies, which a week later i can still feel. i pulled my curtains and bugs fell out all over my bed and we sat round a camp fire in the evening...i also got a chance to see some guy scale a palm tree, drink real coconut milk and try ther version off toffee made frm friend coconut.
We quickly moved onto Kuata (long beach was full again) it was a bit difficult travelling in such a big group but to our suprise lewis and matt had hadf the same problem and were on the boat to kuata too. so our group of 11 was complete again. Kuata was by far my very favourite. My 1st impression was not good cos we were agian put in the worse dorm, i had bird poo on my bed and the doors didnt shut but when they overheard katie complaining about ants in her bed at about 2 am we got upgraded to the honey moon suite (well done katie) and had a bug free night with a real shower...but unfortunatly we were moved to the other dorm the next night, which wasnt as bad as the 1st one. we had so much fun at kuata, i was persuaded to go fishing with all the others where like i said i got sea sick and didnt enjy one bit. but me katie lemis and matt oh and a american helocopter pilot who was pretty stacked got up to waqtch the sunrise at the top of a rock in the middle of the sea, we got cut and bruised by the waves and wen we got to the top it was ntoo cloudy to see the sun haha but we had fun doing it and a later did it again with sophie to proove to the boys we didnt need help and my feet are still pretty painful. we a;so went snorkeling with sme sharks we only saw 2 butit was pretty cool....then sadly we had to move on agian....i will finsih this blog later, as im running out of time and katies got lunch on the table lol x x x
