New Entry....
Unfortunately due to the date zone we got on our flight on the friday lost the whole of Saturday and arrived in Fiji on the Sunday.... we were meant to try and sleep on the flight but i can't sleep on plane journeys so i had no hope. We arrived on the sunday very early about half 6 in the end, and we had to wait another hour until we could get on the road. We were staying on Beachcomber Island 'the party island' and arrived at mid day, but due to a mix up at reception we didn't get our backpacks till about 1-2 o'clock, that may not seem long but when your in jeans and a jumper its not very comfortable. We decided to stay in a private lodge and not the 87 bed dorm which was available. would not want to use that bathroom in the morning.....
The following day we started how we meant to go on.. do nothing and soak up the sun. We tried snorkeling but due to the old equipment supplied i gave up with mine, and just sat on the boat waiting for the more successful snorklers to come back and relay what they'd seen. i cheered myself up though in the evening by drinking which again was successful, and being drunk on an island...good experience. The staff on the island were so welcoming apart from when they confiscated our alcohol which we had bought on the mainland to take on the island due to the price of drinks. They were far cleverer than we thought, as they worked out that we were only buying one fizzy drink with two glasses but still appeared to be plastered... didn't feel to bad as we had befriended four people earlier on in the day, who advised us that they had alcohol in their lodge so we welcomed ourselves up there. later on the same night, i wondered back down to the bar which was then closed to find three brummies lads sitting around, one appeared to be definately past the limit and was trying to be sick. i will let you in on a secret... i have a strange technique where i can help people be sick. again my talent worked and he was one happy if not drunk pukey...
We headed for bounty island for a few days after as we found out that it was where they had the first series of celebrity love island. UK tv viewers you know the one. Again nothing on the activity front, unless you call eating, sunbathing, sleeping activites. That is all i did for the whole week, there went my strict diet. We did walk round Bounty to see what still existed of the love shack they used. It was really run down and left to decompose unfortunately. still we had to get a photo. We didn't have the best weather in fiji from that afternoon. the heavens decided to open and show us what real rain was- we are English we do know. So that continued to be the case on and off for the next two days, but hey we were still in fiji....
The next day we were due to catch a plane to New Zealand to start another leg of our trip and thats where i am now.... Today we went for essential toiletrie shopping ready for our leg on the kiwi bus.... experiences here i come!!!!!
