7/3/08 - A new day a new country. Arrived in Fiji and hopped in a minivan to head to Mango Bay Resort on the Coral Coast which was a nice 2 1/2 hour trip on nasty bumpy roads. Dropped a load of rich people off at posh resorts before arriving at Mango Bay which was down a dusty old track. Still checked in and got upgraded for free as long as kept my mouth shut thanks to the night porter fella. Finally reunited with Jonny and Alex.
8/3/08 - A relaxing day on the beach/ by the pool, all good.
9/3/08 - After a wake up call from Oni the entertainment legend we went to visit a local school which was quality, we sat in on one of there asembles and walked round the classrooms. All the kids were so happy partly coz they feed them flavoured sugar but it was awesome to see. Jonny got offered a job as a teacher. ha ha. Then it was back to reality and the pool. A spot of volleyball and 5-a-side and another day gone.
10/3/08 - We had a plan to stay here for 3 nights and then to go to one of the smaller islands but that went down the pan when we extended our stay. Getting lazy with this easy life.
11/3/08 - Booked on an island visit today which took us to Yanuka island a very small island with a hut where we had lunch before going snorkeling while Jonny surfed. Lets say it was an experience when your swimming along and you hear someone shouting behind you "SHARK, SHARK" and you turn around and theres a shark about 2 metres from your flippers. Luckily it was a reef shark, which apparantly don't eat you. Then we tried our hand at sport fishing. Caught a 24lb 11kg yellow fin tuna. Needless to say I was exhausted after pulling that up. Just to clarify Alex caught a 28lb 13kg Tuna and Jonny's was only 22lb 10kg ha ha A few beers to celebrate.
12/3/08 - Woke up still smelling of Tuna, nice and did pretty much nothing today. As usual.
13/3/08 - Hooked on this fishing game we went out again today in the afternoon but only fish was caught. Ah well Kava ceremony tonight with Jonny (a Fijian fella )
14/03/08 - Having extended our stay again we realise we are achieving the highest level of laziness not even getting up for the free breakfast anymore. However that will be sorted out tomorrow after discussing aother fishing trip with the manager.
15/3/08 - Danny (the manager) woke us up at 6.30am today and we set off on the boat. We caught many fish today approx 30 between 6 of us. another big tuna for Ian and Alex Get In. The evening was finished by getting Jonny (the Fijian guitar player) to get us some more kava. Guernsey Jonny, Wayne, myself, Fijian Jonny and his mate with a tash had a very chilled out night shall we say.
16/3/08 - I think I got my dates wrong somewhere as we leave today but i got most of the details in so not to worry. A brilliant time in Fiji again met some awesome people. Off to LA..
