Bula!!
We arrived here in Fiji safelyyesterday. Plane was delayed a little, but nothing drastic!Sounded really dodgy on take-off, but all went smoothly. Stayed in Nomads skylodge last night and tonight, managed to get an upgrade on my dorm from 15 bed mixed, to 10 bed female. Quite cool. Everyone was in bed when we arrived, not the biggest party place!haha.This morning we woke at just gone 9, and headed to the pool. The hostel is more like a budget resort, with pool,bar, 2 restaurants etc. Really nice. The weather was gorgeous. There were some midday clouds but they soon cleared up after we wondered down to the supermarket. The place is kind of confused on what it wants to be, sounds random but walking to the supermarket it was like being back in India, but then it also feels like Bali....random. Everyone is soooo friendly, everywhere you go someone says 'Bula!', which is like saying welcome or hello.
Tomorrow morning I get picked up at 7.15 to start my tour. The first stop is Coral Bay, a place that only has cold showers and electricity morning and night! Theres two swedish girls from my dorm doing it too, but havn't really got great vibes from them!haha. Im doing the 'full monty' which means i'll be doing things like kayaking, snorkelling, visiting caves, boat trip to where 'Castaway' was filmed, and an amazing sounding boat trip where we go to a local village for a kava ceremony and have a bbq on an unihabited island!Really hope the weather stays like this, apparently the last week has had bright sunshine until 2 and then tropical showers all afternoon and evening!We've been lucky so far.....
