... Lunches were usually lobster something; lobster soup, lobster salad, 1/2 a lobster...and always with homemade ice cream or sorbet, mango, coffee or raspberry. When we were beach side we'd order lobster and fruit, in the boat we ordered ham and cheese sandwiches, or for breakfast egg sandwich. Always coconuts and papayas, beer, coke and water. After lunch we'd lay in the hammock, read books, swim or snorkel. One day we went around the ...

... off for a hairy chest contest. The hairiest bloke winning a drink. Thought I was a dead cert with my gorilla like rug, but I was beaten by an even hairier Spaniard. Slightly gutted to be honest! The girl doing the judging said I was defiantly the second hairiest, but there're no prizes for second, this is life :o) Day 283 - 02/12/08 Tavewa, Yasawa Islands (Coral View Resort) to the Wanna Taka boat After lazing around in a hammock for a few hours this morning I ...

... in fresh flowers and local coconut leaves that were placed so that it spelled "Welcome Home Tony &amp; Rachel." Champagne was sitting on ice for us when we first arrived while the fridge was stocked with fruit, more wine, beer, soda, and Fijian natural water. Outside of our room were surrounded by rainforest-like trees, flowers, and other plants while a small rock pond right outside of our room in the shape of a turtle was home to fish and frogs that called it home. We also had this ...

... turned out so did most of the tour group. On the second day of the cruise, we stopped at a couple of different islands in the Yasawa chain for snorkeling. There are over 300 islands in the Fiji Islands so we were seldom out of sight of several islands. The snorkeling that morning was the best that we had after the Great Barrier Reef. I managed to see a couple of clown fish, 2 or 3 parrot fish, a sea snake, sea slugs, star fish, and some great coral ...

... entertaining and lovely, and holiday attractions in themselves. I am sharing a dorm with a group studying in Sydney (in fact I believe everyone staying there is doing the same, bar me) and despite the rest of the group being lovely, from one insufferable prat to another (because noone can really be in complete and utter paradise right?!) The quaint, laid-back and homely resort is on the east coast and the infamous blue lagoon is ...

... and is a very significant part of Fijian culture. There are certain almost ceremonial requirements when drinking kava, including certain claps and "bula"s. As I went to bed, two girls who were travelling together started to have a big argument over their accommodation (one thing about these exclusive and family run resorts is that you can't escape the guests, should you desire it) and so I ended the day just as I started it - listening to bloody girls bickering!

... one, the Wanna Taki cruise ship where we would spend 1 night not 2. We managed to make record numbers on the boat with only Me, Dave and Vik being the only people on it! Though we did kayak out to a beach and snorkel again, that night was unsuprisingly a quiet on watching about 4 movies then going to bed! In the morning Vik did a dive and then we left! Our final two nights in the Yasawa Islands were spent on the famous Beachcomer Island, which boasts a 132 bed dorm! of ...

... everyone to thier meals. We had freshly caught fish and mangos! At night we would drink kava and the locals would sing songs. We did limbo dancing, bula songs, sunset cruises, loads of great snorking! The coral is un-frickin-believable. Flourescent colors in every shape and size with little Nemos hanging about. Oh! Blue starfish too! When guests leave they sing a fijian goodbye song. Everyday, they ...
