Bob and Nige-The World Tour 2006! (Fi & Jen)
Hey!
We arrived safe and sound into Fiji on monday and after 2 nights in NAdi, decided to head up to Nanuna-i-Ra (daydream island) on the north coast of Viti Levu to spend a few days chilling out and s\diving at some of the worlds best dive sites-needless to say we wernt disapointed! The island was gorgeous as it has barely any population, just the basic resort we were staying at on the North shore and 2 apartments on the Southern shore. We spent the first evening watching the sunset over the ocean and sipping rum and coke! the next day we hiked 40 minutes over the island to snorkel on the fringing reefs, we were lucky enough to have the whole beach to ourselves-we couldnt believe our luck-we felt as if we had found paradise..until it started to rain! error! luckily the clouds cleared up and we got to work on the tanning! later in the evening we had a big bonfire on the beach, lazed around in hammocks and listened to the blaring tunes. Day three way spent under the water at dream maker divesite-absolutely gorgeous-then later the island staff (a real bunch of jokers) treated us all to a Kava ceremony with traditional dancing-hilarious!
The downside to the paradise was the room we were staying in where monster moths (the size of a hand-no s***!) were living, along with spiders, lizards and god knows what else, we practically slept with one eye open at all times, also the toilet was possibly the worst experience ever-getting bitten to death by the thousands of mossies who called it home-nightmare! apart from that we cant complain :)
anyway after a 5 hour journey over sea, land and dirt tracks today, we have made it to the rainy and humid capital of Suva where we are spending 2 nights before travelling to Ovalutau to visit some villages and extinct volcanoes!

P.s Lou, well done on finishing all your exams! bet you are so exctied bout the travels-pack as little as possible-honestly you can buy everything and more over there and heavy backpacks suck-ours weigh about 5 times more than that fat kid in Charlie and Chocolate factory-and its breaking our backs as it is! leave the kitchen sink at home and just take a couple of pairs of smalls! (although wash them every day not every month-like ritson!)
have fun xxxxxxxxxxx
pps. Ritson have you taken my digital camera home or did you leave it in the Whitsundays or god knows where else?
