Ok there is a lot to write considering its been 6 weeks, i'm breaking it up into sections coz i think thatll be easier for me to remember everything!
Anyway When i arrive into Nadi Airport it was rainy and cloudy (brilliant) and i got to Nadi Bay Resort Hotel and checked in to my room. Its alright, basic, got everything you could want and more! No lock on the dorm room which i found weird/not very safe?! The food there is really good though! I know some people have had problems with bed bugs there but I was fine! Wouldnt rush back there though.
I met Ash and Cornelia by chance, the taxi driver taking me from the hotel to the bus stop to catch a bus from nadi to suva asked if i was part of the volunteer group, i was like err yeaa for south pacific projects, and he said ah yes they are meeting in town, do you want to meet them! so he took me to meet ash and cornelia! what are the chances of that! i had no idea where we were supposed to meet so i was just gona make my own way! Anyway the three of us waited to see if anyone else would turn up but they didnt so we got a pink minibus... the driver drove like a crazy man and got pulled over by the police and got a ticket, not that it stopped him from driving really fast, he then picked up lots more people on the way and we were all squashed into the van until he realisd he had a flat tyre so we had to pile out and wait for him to change the tyre but we did eventually make it to South Seas Hotel after a very long and sweaty ride! Only cost $20!! well good!
