Now on Naviti island at Korovou resort - were welcomed with singing, guitars and dancing and everyone got a fiji flower put behind their ear :) This place is still simple but a bit more resorty than the last place - it is a novelty to have a shower with a head!!!!! even if the water coming out of it is still cold and brown....there is a pool and I would say it is nice for everything to be sand free for a change but I still seem to have half the beach on my bed! ...

The wake up call at 7am was a woman blowi9ng into a conch shell. Went reef snorkling - got into this boat which had no seats so we all sat on the floor and had our spines compressed as we bounced through the waves! We got off in the middle of the sea one guide stayed with us while the other 2 just drove off in the boat! The reef was beautiful! luminous yellow, blue and pink coral and some seriously pretty fish!

Left Beachcomber this morning and am now at Kuata. Everything here is so simple - so different from Beachcomber. I am in a 15 bed dorm which is much less cramped thank goodness!

Went on "Seaspray sailing adventure" today, greeted by our crew of 7 fijian men giving us a glass of chamagne - yum! The bar was open all day 2 cool boxes full of Fiji beer, wine and soft drinks - these were constantly refilled all day for us to help ourselves - all food and drink was included in the price! Throughout the day the crew kept picking up guitars and ukeleles and breaking into song - the 1st thing the sang was "You are my sunshine"...

Thought I had just about beaten the jet lag but - NO I woke at 4.30am this morning! Only got one new mossie bite last night - YAY! Although I am getting paranoid about them, it feels like hair/clothing moving are bugs on me! Walked into Nadi today - about 30 minutes in the HOT sun - again so many people offererd lifts. I hadn't realised how 3rd world Fiji is, the road to twon was full of potholes and all of the houses around looked like little shant town shacks....
