Caught a bus at 7.15am to go to Denarau port to start the "Tropical Awegasm" island hopping tour. Boat ride to the island was lovely, some of the views were stunning its just a shame the sky wasn't blue as there are clouds today :( Had to jump from a big catamaran boat into a smaller 'taxi' boat which basically drove us onto the beach of Beachcomber island! Got bed numbers (109) and a locker key and were taken to the dorm...112 beds in a Bure (House) ab...

Under claustrophobic mossie net inside sauna dorm!!!!! Final day island hopping today go back to the mainland at 12.30pm tomorrow it has been good :) Had some hot sun today and then went snorkling in the sea to cool off! The snorkling was unreal - a whole different world in just a tiny section of the sea!

The water was pretty cold compared with the sea I have been in but still heaps warmer than anything in england! Swam through to an open topped cave wh...

They seem to have run out of places in the 32 and 25 bed dorms so I am paying no extra but am in a 6 bed hut which makes a nice change from the crampled 20+ bed dorms! Today has been the hottest since I arrived - the sun was burning hot at 8am this morning!!!!

I now have an army of ants in my bed ( to go with hald the beach) which I am slowly killing off one by one! made a bracelet from a coconut - had to get the coconut out of the furry shell that it grows in - HARD work! then had to saw through the shell to get a bangle shaped chunk! sawing a round cocnut while it is balanced on a deck - interesting I was slightly worried for my fingers! had to scoup out the coconut from inside the shell sand off all the edges and di...
