kristy's travels
woke up fully clothed on my bed which is not good when in fiji (wearing jeans so extremely hot!) supposed to be doing one last dive but felt a \'tad\' hungover so prayed for a miracle...........and it came! the machine that puts air in the tanks broke down! yay!! (sorry kieran!)
went for a snorkel which was amzing (this is apparently the best reef in fiji and even the world!) made a bracelet from a coconut and did some more sunbathing....what a hard life!
headed for south sea island with jamie and petra....you can walk around it in 3 mins....its tiny, sooo cool! helen and helen were there! (2 girls i met at manta) . was their last night so both really drunk! the hostel made us play drinking games ( beer is only cheap drink here but i hate it!! urrgghh) came second in hermit crab racing......my one was called linford christie!!! was gitted until i saw the prize....louise (another really nice girl....there\'s so many!) had to put on a snorkel, mask and flippers and they poured beer down the snorkel! ( the word \'faliraki\' spung to mind!)
did lots of crazy dancing and had a go at being paparazzi! (helen is into photography and has a full on celebrity spotter camera!) ( sounds like a normal night but remember we are on an island the size of a roundabout in the middle of nowhere and theres only about 20 of us and the electric runs out at 12!)
learnt to do those spinning string things that all hippies seem to know.........usually they set fire to them and spin them around their heads!!!!
helen, helen and pete decided to go swimming!!1 so i held the lamp whilst watching the amazing lightening storm that was going on over bounty island ( where they filmed celebrity love island)
next day
we went on a sailing boat trip to see where they filmed castaway the tom hanks movie! drinks included in price and they were offering us champagne from 10.30 in the morning!!!! i decided to be sneaky and have a drink (cans of beer/cko/water)every time they asked but i was saving them in my bag for the eve!!! lots of biscuits too! i miss snacks soooo much!!
went to a local village where we had to drink kava! its so gross...tastes like muddy water that makes your mouth go numb!! have to do it as its a bit of a tradition here and is rude to say no!! locals drink so much they get high!
jumped off boat and swam to modriki where they filmed castaway.........saw wilson (you will know if you see film!)
island was amazing! could just imagine being stuck there!!! in the middle of the peace and quiet while i was imagining this some old american guy called across the island that i had a beautiful body and god had made me well! what a line uurrrgghh!!!
have to say that snorkelling does help firm up the bum though!!!!
spent the last eve watching an amazing lightening storm....petra ( lovely girl from holland who i did diving with and who had just dyed her hair purple!)was in the bushes trying to get the perfect picture for about an hour!
went to go to bed but an old guy (phillipe) was snoring....me and jamie got the giggles coz i was poking the guy with a stick to try and get him to stop snoring..........then another guy was shining a torch in his face.......but the snoring continued! time for my ear plugs!!!
next day we went for a dive at 8am down to an old shipwreck! was sooo cool, actually went inside the boat. saw the biggest fish ever aswell! it was alsatian size and followed me for a while!!!!!!!
petra and jamie left to go to another resort in the morning as they have another week here! sad to see them go as we have done so many things this last week! headed back to main land where i managed to call home and settled down for a night in the airport!!! (plane left at 5am!)
strange to be alone again after all this time!! spent 5 pounds on a mag just to get all the britney/brad/jessica goss!!!
