Golf Terraces Denarau Island

Bounty ist eine kleine Sandinsel, für deren Umrundung zu Fuss benötigt man nicht einmal eine Stunde. Es war schon beinahe sechs Uhr als ich mit dem kleinen Boot auf der Insel ankam und meine letzte Unterkunft, wiederum eine Bure, bezogen hatte. Daher machte ich mich zügig auf den Weg zur anderen Seite der Insel um einen weiteren der meist traumhaften Sonnenuntergänge zu bestaunen und fotografieren. Es gab auch diesmal wieder sehr viele Fotos und wer mich kennt ...

Today scuba diving plans fell through. The dive shop was supposed to send us a taxi at 7am and a taxu never showed up. We called back and forth, then they told us to get our own and the taxi here wanted to rip us off to pay $70 US dollars instead of $50 Fijian, it was disapointing we didn't get to go, but instead we decided to join some of our friends at the ...

Hello from Port Denarau! - What an absolutely perfect place!, we all had an awesome day, got up at 6am Fiji time (4am your time) had breakky, jumped on a big Catamaran, got to Port Denarau jumped onto a larger Catamaran and went to a lovely island called Beachcombers Island. We snorkled, had morning tea, more snorkling, lunch, more snorkling, drank beer, snorkled. Neaty wants me to correct this - Me, Aido, Dylsie ...

... then down a cupful. David and I tried it and we thought it tasted like mud - it was horrible! On arrival we took a little boat to the shore and then waded to the beach. It was a typical tropical island surrounded by white sand and blue sea, and covered in palm trees, birds and brightly-coloured flowers. It was tiny, and we could walk around it in 10 minutes. On arrival we pitched our spot and then hired some snorkelling gear. We ...

Bula! (That's Hello in Fijian, which we've heard a gazillion times since we've been here, everyone is quite friendly). Anyhow we just wanted to add some pictures/video of our adventures here in this beautiful country. We really could not have asked for a better stopover on our way to our new home. The ocean here is amazing, the weather was near perfect except the last 2 days during our stay, then the wind kicked up and we had ...

... the island another try.  It was much more beautiful despite the Jelly Fish.  Sure, enough I have a stinging sensation all over my entire body as I swim out about 50 yards.  It is kind of a freaky feeling and I rush into the shore and do the same sand scrub that I did before.  I think they got me this time, but only have a few mosquito like bumps on my arms.  <br><br>It is time to go and we sadly say goodbye to Modriki Island.  I think that I could stay there for a ...

... river! As I am not a strong swimmer and there was no life jackets I didn't do it but still had to spend the day going up and down the river on a long boat. It rained for the whole day and we were given sheets of plastic to hold over our heads to stop us from getting wet as the boat had no shelter from the rain. I ended up getting as wet as anyone who had tubed down the river!<br><br>After tubing and lunch we went Pacific Harbour and stayed in Uprising Beach Resort. From the moment we ...

... to check in. A serious Fijian woman explain lots of bits to us about the food and the diving and the we are shown to our rooms which are Spartan but functional and only $15 a night esp. when compared with the $500 a night resort about a 10 min walk away. We unpack and chill out on the deck and paddle in the warm waters of the south pacific. As the sun sets we are treated to another perfect show as the reds and yellows play across the far off storm clouds. As the evening ...

... the Tom Hanks blockbuster(!) Cast Away was filmed). I had to trust Hattie that this was accurate as I'd never watched it. Cava isn't the cheap sparkling white wine but a fermented (of sorts) powder from the root of a plant related to the capsicum (pepper). It looks (and tastes) like sandy, muddy water but is meant to have a sedatary effect beginning with a tingling in the mouth, which eventually goes numb after the ...

... was just so cheerful and friendly, it really does show that money really doesnt buy happiness. But we eventually had dinner which was probably the most food i have ever seen in my life, it was all layed out on the floor and was cooked by one of Benni's brothers who was a top class chef, the food was soo good, can never go wrong with fresh seafood. Later that night we ended up sitting down with benni and his brothers and cousins for ...
