Nicola and Max's Travels
Bula from Fiji! Which is hello in Fijian, we learnt that one pretty quick as everyone says it ALL the time!! Have spent a fantastic 10 days on the island of Mololo where we met up with Yvonne and had a great girly holiday! Resort was amazing - clear blue water, white sand, blue sky - perfect! We're very jealous of the people who get to live there all the time! The most stressful part of our day was deciding what to have for lunch or whether to sleep or read by the pool for the day - bliss!
Max decided to do her open water diving course and managed to see lots of sparkly fish including a box fish, which is actually square shaped (wierd looking thing and apparantly very tasty!) and a turtle! Turtles usually swim away when they see humans so we were very lucky to be able to watch it feed and fall over for a while! Nic and Yvonne went snorkling and also saw lots of cool fish, Nemo was hiding though....
The people in Fiji are fantastic, everyone in our resort new our names by day three or just called us scottish girls, all were really friendly and came up with some mental evening entertainment like frog and crab racing and of course the Kava ceremonies! Kava is the local drink made from some sort of tree root powder that they make by rinsing what looks like someones dirty socks in water until it makes this muddy looking Kava drink. Tastes like wood and perfume and makes your lips tingly! In return we introduced some of the staff and other guests to ceilidgh dancing!!
After all that relaxation and sunshine we were very sad to leave our little island, sailing off with the staff singing their goodbye song on the jetty - wishing we were back there.....
