Vatulele Island Resort Managed By Six Senses Nadi

... of discounts! It was kind of fun, actually.<br><br>If you like seafood, Fiji has their own special dish called kokoda. It is a raw fish with coconut milk, other seasonings, lime, tomatoes. I don't like seafood at all, but the people that tried it said it was very good.<br><br>If you order a hamburger or cheeseburger in Fiji, expect it to have an egg on top, unless you tell them otherwise... that's just the way they make them in Fiji.<br><br>The water ...

... play dough... I have been passing out little mini packs to them that I picked up from the Halloween aisle. They also don't have bubbles... I picked up some Tinkerbell bubbles from the goody bag aisle and a boy actually picked those out, and I asked him if he knew what they were. He said no, so I unscrewed the top and told him to blow and out came a bunch of bubbles... all the kids watching through the window went, "Ooooooo!" It was so funny. There ...

... be practically anywhere on the planet and not know it. So I decided on a compromise. In the middles of the main island is a resort that combines some of the comforts of the islands but also has access to the local tribes and Fijian cultures. Best of both worlds, if you will. And it is a famous resort; kind of...<br> <br><br> <br><br> The resort is called The Beach House. it was the place Celebrity Love Island was filmed in 2006. Starring such cultural luminaries as Paul ...

... br><br>First Island was Beach comber.. a tiny island with a massive party vibe. The dorms wer huge. we were beds 96 and 97 in a dorm of 135! Think Criomean war hospital beds and you;kll start to picture it! But it was a decent day and so we hit the beach. The resort includes all food and the food was lovely having lunch, tea and dinner on that first day! In the evening happy hour occurred and we started making friends. We started playing cards with a couple called Alex and Tom. It was ...

... friends who had come to our island for the day! Did hella loads of swimming! Walking back to Sunrise from the blue lagoon, i fell over and broke my flip flop! Played games again with the villagers.<br><br>Manta Ray - Got woken up for the Sunrise today - it was beautiful! Checked out. Got our little boat to ferry to little boat to Manta Ray! They gave us a briefing, went to our rooms. Chilled out at the beach. Then it was dinner time - it had amazing food!!! Then after dinner ...

... the islands! The dorms we've been sleeping in have all been pretty big...the biggest was 120 beds at Beachcomber Island! Yes 120 beds all in the same room!!! Luckily it wasn't full! Travelling makes you sleep through most things though, at home i remember waking up at any little noise but music can be blaring and i wouldn't know!! Although, i was woken up last night lol, when a mobile phone dropped down on my head from the top bunk!!!! In my dream i ...

... for almost he entire game, with Adam dragging me across the circle each time it came near until we finally won. I was promised a prize from the bula boys the next morning.<br><br>We had another bonfire on the beach that night &amp; sat up with a Fijian guy who was playing his guitar. He was really good &amp; had us all singing 'Don't Look Back In Anger', 'Wonderwall', 'Hotel California', Bob Marley songs &amp; even Chris Brown.<br><br>The next morning I received my prize from the bula ...

... families will act as the host and provide accomodation and three meals a day, for around 30 squid each. We decided to head to the Yasawa group of islands, those being the closest group to Nadi on the mainland. Since 2001 the Fijians have become very organised in ferrying tourists to the islands and have set up a company that basically acts as a hop-on hop-off ferry bus. It&#347; a monopoly and so costs a fortune but it seems that it is now the only way to get to the Yasawas and it ...

Ok, so I wasn't going to blog about another airport, but there was a "Classic Stephanie" during my 3 hour layover in Fiji...We left LA at 12 a.m, on a huge two story 747 for the 11 hour flight. There were barely 200 people on the plane that probably seats over 1,000, so everyone pretty much a row to themselves. I debated where to store my credit cards, and started to put them in my money belt to wear while sleeping, but decided instead to lock them in my back pack ...

... with breakfast on a warm, balmy morning on a balcony overlooking a white sandy beach, with the deep blue Fijian ocean gently tickling the sandy shore. All was right with us, all was right with the world. What could possibly go wrong? We were about to find out. A short while after breakfast saw us clambering aboard a rattly old bus with no glass in the windows, joining Fijian and Indian people, and us - as two of the few white folk onboard, traveling on ...
