Fiji Time!

I'm going to try and sum Fiji up in just the one post because A) It basically consisted of sun bathing in the most beautiful islands in the world and B) due to the recent lack of internet connectivity I'm a bit behind in my blogging.

So in all truth Fiji is such a beautiful country, white sand beaches, clear turquoise water and some of the friendliest people we have met thus far on our travels. Everywhere you go you are greeted by the sound "Bula Bula" which is fijian for Hello.

Our first night we stayed on mainland Fiji and were a little concerned with the hostel due to a lack of security (you were not even given a key to your room) but after meeting other guests and the fijian guys who ran the hostel we were alot less concerned as it felt as if they had welcomed us into their family. We enjoyed a night of volleyball and were invited to drink some Cava (A Fijian drink which is made from a root and it is drank in a ceremonial manner).

The next morning we woke determined to get ourselves onto one of the many islands dotted around Fiji which is were the true beauty of Fiji stands out. We managed to book ourselves 2 nights on an Island called Mana Island and the price included all transport, accommodation as well as 3 meals per day. Upon arriving on Mana Island we saw various deserted island which were so beautiful and therefore left me excited to see what Mana would look like.

I was not left disappointed as the Island was the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my entire life and that isn't me just saying that. It was just insane. It was paradise as you and I know it.

The next couple of nights consisted of drinking games, lounging around, night swimming and we even went "deep sea fishing" with a character called Moses. I was the only one to catch something which was two small fish but I nearly caught a 2ft barracuda until it shook itself of my hook by jumping 2ft in the air.

I will be heading back to Fiji, no doubt!
