Gemma's Travels
hi all, right i have 30mins on the net so am gonna try keep u as informed as i can. the hostel is ok, not as nice as the one in LA its a bit grubby and smelly and i saw the biggest cockroach ever the first night i was here in the shared kitchen area which was a bit offputting! and thers an absolute load of mozzies my repelents pretty gud tho so far iv only got 3bites. the room at the hostel is quite nice, only 5beds as i got upgraded for a coupla nites coz they lost my booking, have to go in a dorm tommorrow - not overly looking forward to it, the guys in ther are really really loud! theres loadsa hens and c*** here and i swear if they wake me once more im gonna stop being a veggie and kill one of them for fun - only jokin guys tho at 4am this morn wen the c*** was fightin a cat i was deadly serious! went thru tahiti on the flight to get here and we had ro get off the plane, it looked gorgeous and we got a lovely welcome and a pretty flower. got a really bad impression of the place the first day i was here, the weather didnt make it look overly nice and then this guy dislocated his shouldar and they wouldnt take him hospital, it was horrible, and then i saw the cockroach. since then its not been to bad the weathers a bit dryer we have even had sun today and its a bit like a paradise island, the photos wont do it justice the sea is so so blue and the sand so white. went for a meal with gareth and charlene (honeymooners) and ruth and hayley (mother and daughter) last night which was nice, just gonna make myself some pasta tonight. ruth reminds me of my mum shes proper funny and nice as well as clean, she cleaned our ensuite bathroom yesterday so am gutted i gotta move to dorms and share a dirty bathroom. oh yea and the water is solar powered here so guess whos been havin freezin cold showers, not somethin id reccommend to anyone, hopefully now the suns started to come out the water will get warmer, its a pain in the bum tryin to wash pots with cold water though! erm wot else have i done, got a lift of gareth to town today and wandered round the 5 shops they have lol erm and we drove round the island. am doin a safari on weds morn, so that should be fun. oh i tried to go to church on sun, ther were 6 of us walkin down but the weather got that bad u couldnt actually see wher u were walkin and then it started thunderin and lightenin so we had to turn back as it just wasnt possible to be out in that. then wen we got to the road wher our hostel was it had turned into a river, (im not exagerrating) we had to wade back! flip flops are all you can wear here coz trainers would get ruined but its not nice havin constantly soggy feet! think thats about it. will try get online before sat which is wen i fly to fiji coz my first week in fiji is being spent on remote islands with no electricity so i wont be able to get online then! love to you all! gem xxxxx
