Today we spent the first part of the morning by the pool in the sunshine after another fantastic breakfast. Still getting used to calling Laura my fiance (fiancee?)! At 2pm we went to the Dive Shop to meet Kuki, who was going to be our instructor for 'Discover Scuba', an introduction to scuba diving. After watching a DVD explaining about the different equipment, we signed our disclaimer and headed to the pool. Kuki helped us to put on our BCDs and tanks and went...

The Proposal........ Today it was very hot and sunny again so after breakfast we sunbathed at the beach, relaxed in the hammocks and read our books. After lunch, we sat relaxing at the pool for a few hours (such a hard life!). The sky was clear so we decided to get ready early then walk along the beach to find a spot to watch the sunset. We found a rock to sit on and paddled in the water for a while as the sun was still quite high. We watched a family scramble ...

At 3pm Astrid and I did the weaving activity with one of the younger Fijian ladies who works in the restaurant. We each made a bangle and a book...

We headed down to the beach to hire snorkels and fins for the rest of our stay. Dave's first snorkelling experience was fantastic, after getting used to breathing properly! The reef is really close to the shore and packed with all kinds of beautiful fish - our favourites were the 'Geordie' fish w...

The flight form LA to Nadi was surprisngly good. We slept quite a bit, had some nice food ( a midnight snack and breakfast!) and it went quite quickly. As we passed the international date line we arrived in Nadi at 5am on Thursday 28th July, after leaving LA at 11:30pm on Tueady 26th...so Wednesday 27th never existed for us - hope nothing important happened! After waiting in a long queue at immigration, we collected our luggage and headed into arrivals. We asked...
