Well Fiji was the most amazing place ever!! Didn't want to leave and I'm so glad I stayed an extra week to do the Feejee Experience - loads of people I met said it was wicked and it was. You guys wouldn't believe what I got up to for the 4 days I was doing it! Its based on the mainland and its an organised tour with the same group of people on a big green bus travelling round the whole island in 4 days. It was a great group of people - good job really seeing as we spent pretty much 24 hours with the same people - on the smelly green bus, doing all the activities together, eating together and sharing dorms! The first day we went to Natadola Beach - I've never seen or heard waves like it - then we had a BBQ on the beach for lunch. Went sandboarding in the afternoon which is basically surfing down sand dunes! Had body boards which you lie on and just go bombing down the dunes - don't know how high it was but was so bloody steep you go flying! Our tour guide Bola was wicked at it - running a jumping over the edges and flying half way down. Hardest part was getting to the top of the dunes - what a mission! Got some funny video clips of me screaming f*** all the way down! We stayed at Mango Bay that night on the Coral Coast - it was right next to the set where the new celeb love island is - you could see all the offices and crew trailors. Did a bit of crab racing (very popular sport in Fiji - you'll see crabs along the beach with numbers tipexed on their backs) and some limbo (I'm so rubbish) and a few cheeky cocktails. Can you believe it - I did a 10km rainforest trek. The first hour was hiking up red clay hills in the sweltering sunshine - the tour guys made us make fern leaf sun visors which were very attractive as you can imagine. Then we got right into the heart of the rainforest and hade to wade along a stream for an hour or so - absolutely soaked before it brought us out to the top of this valley - the view were out of this world - the rainforest on either side of the valley, the lush green trees and the river below. It was so high and seriously steep, had to use ropes to guide us down and I held everyone up because I took forever. One thing that pissed me off about the feejee experience is that you have to get your own lunch form the supermarket and with no utensils its a bit tricky - spreading cheesespread with your fingers is messy business. Lived on cheesespread and pringle butties mmmm! River tubing - everyone got into rubber rings and just drifted down the river, through a few rapids, the rainforest high either side, past waterfalls - AMAZING - got to swim underneath the waterfalls too. Stayed in Suva that night which is the capital city of Fiji and everyone went on a bit of a bender round the town. Day 3 we visited a Fijian village right out in the countryside and it was beautiful - we had a traditional Kava ceremony and weaved banana leaf bracelets with the local women and children (few cheap & cheerful presents for you guys back home). Everyone bought some stationary from the supermarket before we left and visited the local school and gave all the stuff to the kids - they were all wicked! I visited a primary school at Kuata but this one was a secondary school right up on a hill with the most gorgeous views! The children are hilarious - they're all so friendly and the had music on the playing field and got all of us dancing - they had Maths & Science week so were showing us all the models and displays they've made. Considering they've got so little resources they really use their imaginations to come up with some amazing things - my favourites were a dissected toad with its lungs blown up and a 3D female reproductive organ. Everyone went bilibili rafting that afternoon but I'm a bit of a wimp in the water so watched from the river banks as they had a race on these rickety bamboo rafts. Stayed at VoliVoli Beach which was a wicked night - played loads of party games then had a midnight bonfire on the beach - the beach there is basically a spit of sand that goes out right into the sea - beautiful! We were allowed our first lie-in hurray! I finished polished my coconut bracelet on the beach before we went for lunch in Raki Raki - went to an Indian restaurant and sat on the rooftop overlooking the town. I was really looking forward to the mudpools - thought it would be nice and soft and squidgy but it was f***ing gross! It was really deep and lumpy and was watery hear the top with bit of wood floating about and it was really really hot - kept burning me feet! The hot springs were bizarre too - like being in a bath. Our driver Alvin hacked down a load of sugar cane so we all sat on the coach covered in muck eating sugar cane and getting hyper. The drive back was the last part of the trip and there was a beautiful red and purple sunset and it just made the whole trip so perfect - I LOVE FIJI - Don't want to leave!!! x x x
