Hope this finds you in good health - mine couldn't get much better ! I spent my first night (Sun 7 Mar) on the mainland (Nadi). I haven't stopped smiling since the moment the plane doors opened ! This is most probably down to two facts a) the locals are always smiling and have a happy aura about them and b) well it's very hot and the sun is shining on yours truly !
Yesterday, my taxi picked me up from the hotel at 11:10 and I was taken to Denarau Port for my transfer to the island resort. The catamaran left at 12:15 and dropped passengers off at various island resorts such as Castaway, Treasure and Mana. I finally arrived at destination at 14:00 - it's called Malolo, but I'm calling it My Paradise Island (alhamdu-lilla) - it's awesome, beautiful, gorgeous and the rest! From the moment I stepped off the boat I haven't stopped saying "ooh" and "wow" !
What a fantastic welcome to the island, a group of local men & women sang a welcome song on the arrival pontoon and a garland of sea shells was placed round our necks (the same happened when I landed at the airport).
Our welcome guide Niko showed us around the island and highlighted the places of interest - reception, restaurant, swimming pool, spaaaaa - oh and I've been given a 15 minute complimentary luxurious foot treatment - not bad eh? On top of this I've booked a 60 minute Nourishing Body Wrap on Friday and an Exotic Hand & Foot Treatment on Saturday ! Its such a hard life here, I do hope you're feeling sorry for me !
My Oceanview Bure, well sort of mini apartment, is tastefully decorated and overlooks the ocean. It's amazing here and I'm enjoying every moment. I know this beautiful dream will soon come to an end soon, but hey I'm having a fantastic time while it lasts ( I'll post some pics and hope the sunrays reach each and everyone of you) !
The hotel's snorkeling and kayaking gear is available to guests, so I've been snorkeling today and I know what I'll be doing for the next 5 days (yep more snorkeling) !
Signing off from Fiji, take care, love Dee xxx
