Camilla Elin and Becky

Our final day and final blog and here we are in some poxy little internet cafe sweating like pigs and stuffing our faces with raisin bread dreading the mammoth journey home ahead! Thinking about the past 4 months we have met so many amazing people and had THE best time ever!!! Although we're exited to be seeing everyone at home we're so sad it's over. It's been a blast!! p.s. we may have missed a few days as we're only on 108! but you get the gist!! ... read more

It was Penblwydd Hapus to Elin this morning who received a delightful birthday card/post card before heading to yet another mammoth breakfast complete with candles in her muffin!! After breakfast we sunbathed by the pool before having yet another amazing lunch! After lunch we took part in traditional Fijian weaving, Elin and Becky crafting some bracelets and Camilla a book mark! More lounging then took place before we set off into the sunset to catch some fish!! After 2 hours lying on the boat with our hand lines not tempting any fish we headed back to shore where we quickly showered for dinner and lots of cocktails......some enjoying more than others!!! Tonights even was shots for shots volleyball which saw us receiving a few more shots of rum punch than most considering our rather questionable volleyball ... read more

This morning we ate like kings before heading up across the mountain to the other side of the island to the little of village of Nalauwaki for Sunday morning church! The beach in front of the village was dominated by the stunning mountain peaks and so after walking through the little village we got into the church where we sat with the locals. The singing was beautiful but the preacher was rather forceful in his delivery and so after 15 minutes of him shouting at the congregation we decided to head back to the resort where we basked in sun before lunch! After lunch and a little more lounging we headed to the sea where we snorkelled over the reef in the clearest water we'd ever seen! The fish were amazing and the coral was so ... read more

Unfortunately the sun at breakfast didn't last and so we began our NYE drinking with our new friends from the US of A in the rain! Later that afternoon we boarded the ferry and waved goodbye to Mana and set off to the party island of Fiji - Beachcomber!!! The island has a capacity of just 250 people but tonight this tiny island was packed and we soon got into the festivities! Later in the night there was some excitement over some famous people who we had no recollection of whatsoever but we decided to get in on the action anyway and ended up sitting with the stars of Australian Rugby League!! We ended up spending most of the night with them in between visits to the spa on the beach, the cute little church (randomly!!) ... read more

For our only day on the main island we decided to see as much as possible and so hired a driver for the day who took us round to see the sights!! First stop was a mountain in the shape of a sleeping giant (or buddah for Elin who thought she was back in Thailand!!) followed by a visit to a cultural centre and then a typical local town where we shopped and had lunch in a local Indian canteen which shouldn't be judged by appearances! The curry was amazing!! Next we headed to a look our point for more photos before arriving at an absolutely stunning beach! Blown away by the views and amazingly sunshine!! we were then approached by the most gorgeous 14 year old boy who offered us horse rides along the beach! ... read more
