So after the feejee experience you have the chance to go to Beach Comber island which is a small island not far from the main island and Nadi which is a total party island, i didn't really realise this or know this until i got there!!!!!
Turned out that on Beach Comber i knew about 15 people when i got there, 5 of us from feejee exp, 3 irish guys i travelled for a week in NZ with and stayed with in nadi on my first night in fiji, stella and rob english peeps from kiwi exp, none other than bloody nadia & james sitting there when i got off the boat and walked onto the island, i knew they arrived in fiji the day before but had no idea they'd get to beach comber by then so that was totally weird on a tiny little island in fiji we bump into each other...mental!!!! they heard the irish guys shout hey clara and turned around in amazement and were like....clara!!!!!!! then bumped into Sam who was on my Whitsunday trip in oz and two other people id met on the kiwi exp!!!! turned out to be so much fun and
so cool i knew so many people when i got there!!!! Also the england netball Gk was staying on the bed below me who i had also seen at volley volley on the feejee experience!!!!! Small world hey!!!!! lets all meet on a tiny island in fiji!!!!!!
So Beach Comber is only 45mins on the boat from the main land, tiny little island prob took 10 mins to walk right around it, so literally one hostel on it, well this was the maddest dorm ive ever seen in my life, it was like a big cattle shed and slept 150 people in it!!! mental beds crammed in everywhere, except there was one other tiny dorm that narz had been put in for some reason!!!! So this dorm was insane soooo many people in it!!!! All there was other wise to the resort was the bar/dance area, all sand covered, the open barn restaurant and the water sports office and a shower block pretty much!!!! The beach and sand was pretty lush and white and the sea was pretty perfectly blue and clear!!!!!
What more could you ask for!!!!! I was booked to stay here just one night but
ended up extending it as too much fun with so many people i knew!!!!!
First day on the Sunday we pretty much all chatted, sunbathed, Alease went wake boarding the little dude so i went on the boat and took pics for her and we pretty much swam over to the next nearest island which was pretty cool!!!!
So fiji is pretty mental, the main island isn't too special but showed me the main fiji but now i cant believe how cool the islands are, i knew they would be similar to the Maldives but id say the Maldives are smaller and more paradise like and not built up so much, fiji is prob more built up and hilly and more people and less paradise. I totally love islands they're pretty mental how they just pop up in the sea and island life is cool. Infact i love the whole world its an awesome place....must be explored more by me he he!!!!!!
So Beach Comber was the first island i stayed at small and party island, the first night we obviously all got drunk, was great cos narz and james liked everyone i knew and everyone i
knew liked them lots as well so one big happy family!!!!! second day we all got up pretty early due to sun and heat in the morn and called for breakfast at 8am so was a long hung over/drunk day on the island that day!!!! mmmm more sunbathing and water sports and yes more drinking!!!!! okay so this travelling life is basically one big hol now!!! well especailly here in fiji it is so holiday like!!!! But the island hopping is designed for backpackers as all on the cheap and accomodation isn't really hotel resort standards, but so cheap and easy to island hop which is good for me would recommend it to all!!!
So two long nights and two even longer days on Beach Comber was pretty much enough for me, was so cool knowing so many people but didn't know who to speak to first and felt ready to finally go off travelling by myself again when the time came!!!!! I had consumed about a litre of cheap bounty rum, had about 8 hours sleep in total, nicely caught the sun, seen lots of people i know and have met travelling which confirmed how cool the travelling
world is and was totally petrifed by the number of mice on the island!!!! Yes you read it!!!! well i guess yer there would be mice on islands it cant be helped but not so many everyhwere!!!! stella said to me when i arrived that she had had mice round her back back, ama the english netball player said to me she saw an animal in the locker under our beds when she arrived, then the next morning my food in my bag had been nibbled so i was freaked out, im scared just writing this lol and then bloody well sitting at dinner in the bar i looked down at one point and there was a mouse about 5cm from my feet!!!!! how much do i hate mice lol!!!! so yer now im pretty scared of all the moving, hopping, insects and animals on the islands and also fed up of being bitten!!!!! So yes two days at beach comber was enough ready to see more of the fiji islands!!!!!!! had lots of fun partying with everyone and my tan is coming back nicely bring it on!!!!!!
