Magic Island

Lost Friday March 7th 2008, a date I will never retrive - insane!! The flight was 10 hours, but I crossed the date line - again insane. Air Pacific a the ones for the alcoholics, red wine until I fell asleep and champagne until I landed! Stayed in Nadi one night, crazy number of Indians on the main land - the came over in the 1800's and now don't have any family in India! Visited a local market in the city of Latoka about an hour away again LOADS of Indians.

Mana (Magic) Island is paradise on earth. However, there are 333 options! Got VERY involved with Fijian life. Amazing how any Fijians actually live on that Island, when you stratch the surface. Got friendly with the Clusters, the Dad was the head teacher of the school, Mum worked in my hostel, Oldest son Joe did too. Joe had 5 siblings one as young as 10 months!

Went diving twice, loved it! WEnt to Mana Wall the first time (under for 55 minutes) saw a turtle!! Then went to Supermerkat, dived for 40 mins, with sharks (reef sharks). Instructors Anndrew and Kat (from Essex) where great.

Team Sweden!! Meet Andreas, Therese, Fredrick, Ingrid, The Russian (Eddie), The English lads (of course) and Gemma and Becky. A Fijian time was had.
