Yasawas - Fiji Islands

So we just got back from our 14 day Bula pass hopping between different islands and resorts in the Yasawas. All the resorts wer different and some were better than others. These are the highlights.

Nabua Lodge: Our first resorts some great people including a guy from yate, and a really nice guy from canada called denver. We went on a boat trip to the blue lagoon and went snorkeling. Back at the resort we had a good BBQ, played touch rugby on the beach with a load of Fijians which was really fun and played volleyball. The guy who was in charge was called Lulu and he was really funny.

Gold Coast: This was a very small resort, just us four and a danish couple. We walked over to the blue lagoon from here and did some snorkelling and also jumped into the sea off the boat.

White Sandy beach: We arrived to all the Fijians singing and playing the guitar on the beach, we also got some coconut juice! The people here were really nice and friendly, both the staff and the guests. In the evening there was lots of dancing and we learnt the bula dance! We played volleyball, sat in hammocks reading books and went snorkeling. On the Sunday we went to the church which was a bit of a disappointment. It was set up for tourists and was very cheesy.

Coral view: This was quite a big resort, we had our own 4 bed bure which was nice, there were kayaks and snorkeling equipment etc. We spent a lot of time in hammocks and also chatting and playing cards in the evening with the other guests. Tom and I kayaked to the blue lagoon in glass bottomed kayaks which was cool.

Wayalai: I pretty resort, tom and I got up at 5am and climbed up a mountain in the dark to watch the sunrise, it was really cool. I also became Bula king in the evening with my dancing skills during the stick dance!

Manta Ray: This was a really nice resort with really nice food. We played volleyball and went snorkeling (this was the best place for snorkeling). I also went on a trip to see manta rays, i got really close to one snorkeling it was awesome!

Kuata: Again played volleyball, made friends with some danish guy and a Brazilian guy, went snorkeling and sat in hammocks! I also went on a village trip to see Fijian village and also watched a rugby match between two villages.

South sea: A tiny island, played volley ball, went sailing and snorkeling.

Bounty: This was where celebrity love island was filmed. Good snorkelling, sitting in hamocks, made friends with and English girl, and an irish and Swedish guy.

We are now back in Nadi and a fun filled 2 weeks. We are here for 4 days and not quite sure what we are going to do. Tom and I may do a scuba dive and we may also try and find some markets to get some cheap stuff! Then we are off to Hawaii!

hope everything is well back at home.
