Hello everybody! long time no see eh! Well there wasn't much to speak of for the past few months but on the 1st April, exactly 1 year after leaving the UK, me and rachel (along with our new travelling buddies Tasha and Adam) finally left OZ! It was a sad affair but we had a lovely BBQ by the beach with all our friends on our last sunday and the weather was gorgeous which was great, and fittingly on the morning we left it was pissing it down with rain so we decided that australia was crying for us! anyway all was grand because we were off to sunny Fiji! We spent 3 dyas in a hostel near the airport in Nadi which was very relaxing, then set off on a 6 day, 5 night tour of the islands (a group called the Yasawa Islands). The first 2 nights were spent at Coral View resort which was beautiful, we psent our time, snorkling and sitting in hammocks reading, we also befriended an addorable puppy which we very inventively named "pup"! His dad "dog" also accompanyed us on a trek up the big hill behind the resort to see a spectacular sunset over the sea. The staff were lovely, greeting us with warm smiles and music and they provided endless entertainment in the evenings with songs and dances to participate in, food was all included and was delicious. next we went to Korovou eco tour resort which was rather the same layout and the same activities, except that evening we were treated to a fire dance, it got quite precarious when one of the dancers dropped his flaming fire stick near our feet but no one was hurt!!! some of our new friends said that it had been worse on another island with fire balls flying through the air!!! But we survived and went to our last island of the trip called southsea island, this island was your ideal desert island, so so small that you could run round it in leass than 3 minutes! More relaxing snorkling and kayaking was done, by this time we had all got through about 5 books each! And so back to the mainland for another night in Nadi before we caught our flight to Auckland. We are now staying the night in Auckland and setting off on a 3 day tour of the Bay of Islands tomorrow. We get our van on the 14th and set off on our own! so will keep you informed of our progress! hope you like the pics xxxxxxx
