Bula! Apologies for the late entry, we've gotten lazy since we got to the US. Heres what happened in Fiiji.. When we arrived we were more than happy to discover how hot it was after 2 weeks spent in wintery Australia. We were picked up by the nice hotel man and taken to Bluewater Lodge which was in Nadi (pronounced Nandi) which was really lovely and had a pool so we were quite happy there for the next few days. Although the beach there was black sand so not as aluring as imagined. But on the monday we were off to the Yasawas Islands to stay on a few resorts the next week. This involved getting a boat from the port and choosing which islands we wanted to go to. We had bought a Bula Pass ... read more

After 4 days of nothing but laying in the sun we got back on our boat....only this time is was raining out and we got soaked by the time we made it to the big boat. Then poor Jenn had to take Gravol due to how crazily the boat was swaying back and forth. We stayed at the Nadi Bay Hotel. We shared a room with 3 girls from England. The Hotel had the best fish I have ever eaten and cats roamed free which clearly made me happy (but made me miss Sage...you didn't get rid of her did you Dad?) There were banana trees and the weather was very hot The last night we were there we were asked to switch rooms and ended up in a dorm of about 10. Nadi itself was ... read more

Bula!! we have been without the internet for over a week so sorry if this is rushed! On Monday night a Ngaio's it was "Family Night", which meant all of us going for a walk along the beach in the rain and getting completely soaked and sandy! However it was a good chance to get to know them before we leave tomorrow! Back at the house we ate an interesting dinner of croissants, pasta and sausages, which neither of us particularly liked, joined by her neighbour and her two young boys. (The neighbour had bought cheese cake which we were delighted about, however they forgot to defrost it so we ateit frozen... not so good!) We managed to watch a bit of T.V. and get some reading time in before heading to bed. Tuesday we spent ... read more

Hi I have now arrived in Fiji after a more laid back last few days in New Zealand all be it with a lot of travelling involved. The night after Fly by Wire me, Nicole, Kathrin and team Sweeden (named by bus driver Jono) all hung out in team Sweedens room and just had a fun few hours. The next morning me and team Sweeden headed to Milford Sounds. It took about 5 hours to get there along some really impressive roads with lots of mountains many of which were snow capped. Milford Sounds is not actually that far from Queenstown its just the roads do not go directly there. When we got to the Sound (actually a ford) we got on our cruise, ate to much of the buffet lunch and then went out on ... read more
