Bula fans, i arrived back in the mainland about 6pm this evening-4 hours ago, after 2 weeks of Island hopping in the beautiful Fiji. We are staying in a hotel for the night before flying off to New Zealand tomorrow morning (Saturday). It's been amazing here in Fiji, i've done lots of snorkelling and especially enjoyed snorkelling with reef sharks, eaten lots of rice and veg and done lots of sunbathing!!Its been soooo hot, i've developed a rather nice tan!Its been too hot sometimes though so i've just had to lay back in the hammock outside our beachside bure (house)!!Its been a rather primative lifestyle ive been leading and its kind of made me think how much we take things for granted back home but boy did i just enjoy my first hot shower for two weeks. There is 24 hour electricity here now which is a bonus!I havent been doing that well on the health front this week...went on a night on a boat where they gave us Cava-Fiji's traditional, non alcoholic national drink which is meant to make you relaxed and cleanse you-its looks like dirty washing up water and it tastes foul but you do it to be polite... so i had three coconut cups of it and the next day i was so ill on the boat, i had to stay in bed whilst everyone was sunbathing on top deck, lets just say the movement of the boat didn't help and it was the worst journey of my life EVER.Then today i got scraped by some coral real bad then fell up a concrete step so have a huge piece missing from my knee!!Anyway apart from that i'm having such an amazing adventure...i've climbed a summit of an Island where i watched the sunset and have also been to visit a local village where the school children sang to us!!The people are so lovely, i will be sad to leave but i must move on to kiwi land.Hope all is well in England.
