Hi :)
Happy Birthday to Arron and Leah!! Love you both lots.
We have just got back from a little island of the coast of the mainland called Manna. What a beautiful place!
We stayed at the Sereana Backpackers Hostel. They were so welcoming and friendly (like all the Fijiian people seem to be). It is a small island, to walk around would take no longer than 1 1/2 hours. We tried to walk round but there was a private resort half way that wouldn't let us cross over their land! So we tried to cut through the mountain, but ended up coming out of the trees on the same side of the island.
The snorkelling here was amazing, the water was crystal clear, and they had all sorts of fish, and the coral was brightly coloured. There are also a lot of reef sharks around the area, but luckily we didn't bump into any!
We had a go at weaving, and managed to make a (kind of) basket. We also made jewellery out of coconut; cutting it out, sanding it down and hey presto!
It was such a laid back place, and the rest of the backpackers there were nice and friendly.
If there was such a place as paradise, Fiji would be it. Unfortunately, the weather has not been that great. One minute it is raining, the next it is baking hot!
We are heading to Nadi, and then will look to make our way round the coast of the mainland.
Miss you all lots
Love
Stevie & Sam
