-CORAL VIEW
So decdided after feejee experience and beach comber that i wanted to go up to Coral View, which is a resort on one of the furthest away islands in the Yasawa Group, Tevuwa island, to do my PADI dive course so i travelled on the awesome awesome adventures boat all the way up through the lush fiji islands to coral view. When i got up to Coral View though i was feeling bit low after leaving 15 people i knew at beach comber and had been drinking for about 48 hours straight, got to coral view and it was very distant and far away from everything, real fijian island life, no mobile phone signal or land lines and hardly any internet. So as i was now all the way up here and lonely by myself i decided it was best not to do my PADI until ive been checked out properly by a dive doctor, so instead i decided to island hop back down the islands and meet up with james and nadia again. Coral view was very nice though, the accomadation was pretty basic and the food was average and it was raining the day i got
there but after that the weather was pretty perfect couldnt have asked for more!!!!! Did some brilliant snorkelling at the Blue Lagoon and off coral view and a load of sunbathing/ chilling so all good!!!!!! met more people and generally enjoyed being far away on an island with beautiful scenery and lots of sunshine!!!!! hey is it really november nearly december??!!!!!
-MANTA RAY
Next island i island hopped to on the awesome awesome adventures boat was mant ray, i had heard good things about this resrot so arranged to meet nadia and james here. Was cool going on the boat again its so amazing how this comapny is set up and you literally get on and off the boat at different islands, when the little boats take everyone out to get on the big boat its so random and then you get on and off where you want its ace!!!! would recommend it to anyone for a good hol!!!! So went down to manta ray which is about half way down the group of yasawa islands, and as i got off the boat there they were again nadia and james on the same little remote island as me!!!!!
The resort was really nice at manta ray, very modern it had just been built a few years ago so all nice and modern and clean which was nice for a change on an island, the dorm was very lush and funky and wooden!!!! so weird meeting up with nadia and james again but so cool as well!!!! when we got there we dumped our stuff and went over to the sunset beach and watched the sunset surprisingly!!!! we took a bottle of rum and coke and sat chatting and making things out of the sand lol!!!!! this was fun then at dinner we totally pigged out cos the food was extremely nice here and then we played card games with james's lush cards which was fun!!!!! in the mroning we were up early for breakfast as you always are on the islands as its so hot and they beat the drum for meal times!!!! we had breakfast, checked out and then did some wicked snorkelling metres off the island with some good coloured coral and quite a lot of fish ahh how i love under the sea world!!!! this was nice to go snorkelling with narz and james!!!! then
we chilled and sunbathed on the beach and made bracelets out of coconuts!!!!!! which was very cool, pigged out on lunch again and then was sung to as we left the island on the big awesoem adventures boat!!!!!!
-WAYALAILAI
Nadia and james decdided to go back to the main island as they were short of cash but i decided to spend one more night on the islands, so i chose to go to wayalailai as i had read the waya islands were very beautiful, it was so cool being on the boat with narz and james, we totally chilled out, it was really hot so we had icecreams and took funny pics of us looking funny!!!! then i had to get off the boat again by myself :-( felt so lonely and sad going off again by myself, but most of the people i met at coral view came to manta ray and were now coming to wayalailai as well, a canadian family who were really nice had been with me the whole time so this was cool. Left narz and james which was sad and then got the little boat over to the island, we arrived and
the island was totally beautiful lots of sceneray and wilderness and a massive big rock going up high in the air it was beautiful. When we arrived and went to check in they realised that the resort had been over booked!!!! they deadly seriously said that we would have to sleep in the village in one of the locals houses!!!! we went and looked at the house but obviously it was pretty basic, tin, no carpet, fly everywhere and we'd have to share beds. we sadi we weren't really happy with this and they managed to find us a putty up bed!!!! this was funny experience tho guess i should get used to it if i want to go to africa and india!!!!! so finalyl we had a bed, i loooked around the resort which was really nice, village like and quiet but also very naturally beautiful, the buig rock was amazing!!!! had a freezing cold shower and then dinner with everyone then the fijians did soem nice bula dancing etc for us and we joined in...alll fun and games!!!! that night i went to bed pretty early as i decided to get up for sunrise and do the walk
up to the summit!!!! So i had to get up and be ready for 5am, we trekeed for 45 mins up 365m to the top of the summit on the rock!!!!!! this was amzing, very hard work and tiring to get up there it was hot even this early, we saw the sun come up over the ocean and the views of the island, the other islands and out over the sea were amazing, very worth getting up for and the effort to get up there!!!! im quite scared of heights though and at oen point we had to walk over a very narrow bit of rock to get to the very top and if you slipped you were defo a gonner so didnt liek that much but did it eventually!!!! glad i made it to the top with the others as it was aweosme, we stayed up there about 20mins taking everythign in it was soooo cool then we walked back down which was pretty slippy and hard but took less time, got down in time for breakfast so all good!!!! then i had to check out and spend from 9am til 3pm with no room waitign to get
the ferry back to the main land and meet nadia and jaems again at sky lodge. I'm totally knacklered and worn out now from this trip so in goign home mode, think cos i know im going hoem soon im ready to now plus have spent all my money so going overdranw now so hard to enjoy so much, but stil good, enjoyed the sun on the beach but it was a long day as got up for sunrise adn had to wait for ferry until 4pm and got back to skylodge in nadi about 7pm, where again nadia and jhames and alease who i met on the feejee exp were all staying waiting to see me, we had inner then i pretty much crashed out!!!!! one week on the islands was long enough, its so hot and humid which is good as my tan is now awesome again, but you constanly feel dirty and sandy, food and drink is pretty basic or expensive and its hard to get out fo the ehat and feel clean so was ready to get back to the mainland after one week!!!!!!
