We left Beachcomber this morning and caught the flyer to Bounty Island where apparently Celebrity Love Island was filmed. The first thing I noticed about the island was the dead coral and small rocks scattered everywhere on the beach, it's still nice though and we got a lovely warm welcome from a large lady (which we all mistook for a man) with her guitar, her name was big mumma. We checked in at reception and were shown to our beachfront bure straight away. Considering it was the most expensive room we had paid for so far, it was actually the worst, it looked like a prison cell! It had small windows and it was dark and dingy inside. The double bed had a really old mattress, Chris sat on it and could feel the springs had gone in the middle, oh and there was a cheap bunk bed from the dorms in there taking up half the room too. Chris looked for a light and found it behind the bunk bed which will be useless at night time! Lastly there was no air con, just a fan on the ceiling, even on full power the fan felt like it was half a mile away! Neither of us wanted to stay in it. I walked outside and looked up the long white sandy beach, Emma was sunbathing next door to us! I walked up to her and surprised her then Chris came over and joined us and we asked her what her bure was like. It was the same as ours and they were a little disappointed too. She started telling us about the bad service she had received from big mumma the other day, when she told her it was Stevens birthday and asked if he could get a free cocktail. Apparently she snapped at her! Me and Chris decided we were going to find out if there were other rooms because the one we had was not good enough. We stormed over to reception and told the lady how we felt about our room. After arguing for five minutes the manager finally gave us a key for another One. No one took us this time, we found our new room which wasn't much different but it was a lot brighter with windows that went all the way around, it also had a bright light on the ceiling this time and air con. The mattress wasn't broken but there was still a bunk bed in there which we didn't mind, we used it to put our bags on. It still isn't the nicest room we've had but it's better than the cell. We walked back out and spoke to Emma, Steve had returned from snorkelling by now. He said it was quite good out there and wanted to go night snorkelling later so we said we would join him.
We went back to our bure to get changed and then went for lunch. After lunch we all walked around the island together, it was really rocky on one side and lots of dead coral on the sand on the other, actually the majority of the island is covered in crushed coral. One area looked quite nice though, it must have been the area used for filming Celebrity Love Island. After walking the whole way round me and Chris brought the rest of our rum and coke out and shared it with Emma and Steve while sitting in the sea. We sat there talking for a few hours until the sun began to disappear on the other side of the island. Then we got showered and ready for dinner.
Mmm dinner, it was so good we had roast pork! I got a really tasty fatty piece, then we had cake afterwards! What the island lacks in rooms they definitely made up for in the food! Once we finished we went to the bar and bought a round of drinks. We carried on drinking more and more rum and coke and beers until everyone else had gone to bed. Anna, the bar lady put four shots of rum in instead of one. Eventually she had to leave so we bought ten more drinks and two beers. The time flew by and it was a really good night. Me and Emma started singing very badly to the music on our iPad, I had the lyrics so it was our own terrible karaoke. Steve the b****** sneakily filmed us! We're surprised no one came to complain about our noise! A few more drinks later Steve decided to strip naked and jumped into the swimming pool! Then Chris joined him, then me and then Emma did too. I think I was the only one who kept some clothing on lol! Eventually we got out and dried off then the boys got Anna to open the bar up again so we could have a few more drinks!! By the time we went back to our bures it was 5am! We were all very, well and truley, pissed!!
