Bedarra Inn Sigatoka

Dinner last night was our last night here at Bederra Beach and in Fiji. After we finished eating, the "band" came over to seranade us. Everything night, three men sit on the floor in the lobby and sing wonderful Fijian music and harmonize beautifully. For our last night, they came and sang us a farewell song. Staying here at Bederra has been great. The staff are all ...

Hi all now in Fiji doing nothing apart from sitting on the beach eating and drinking!!! what a hard life. feeling chilled, now and waiting for the next stage in south america. i will load pictures when I get to a computer that allows me too. The beach and setting is just as you would imagine but we have had a bit of rain but not much as it is hot all the time. Saw the fire walkers last night and will watch the rugby tomorrow. speak soon only 3 weeks left we can't believe it!!!

... a lot of mangroves where the water is very shallow, as we were going over we could see loads of them on the bottom of the seabed, but they weren’t as big as the ones we saw on the island, probably 2foot but still wanted to give them a wide birth, anyway the tide must have been heading out because before we knew it we were marooned on the bottom and could not paddle anywhere!

We made jewellery with the locals by weaving vine leaves and got chatting to more people from all over the world! At Waya Lailai we were treated to traditional Fijian dances, fire dances and the friendliest islanders we had yet encountered. It was however strange when we saw the 10 foot satelite dish beaming Sky Sports into the bar!

... use up. The next morning we went for a nice walk up Mount Iron, with me and Rob finishing a good 20 minutes before Ben did, being the athletes that we are. Once again the views were spectacular. We then headed to Wanaka's alternative tourist attraction; Puzzling World. This was a collection of strange exhibits which are meant to confuse you. This includes a room which is at such an angle that a ball looks like it's rolling up hill, when in fact it is going down hill ...

... when it became too hot to slide into the lukewarm, clear and still waters....like a big swimming pool! The resort we stayed at was right beside a little village, with a school right outside our room. It was lovely in the evenings when there was a church service, you could hear the beautiful singing of the Fiji people while sitting in the hammock outside our room. So when we weren't simply chilling by the sea, we actually did use up some ...

... also donated a few bucks which helped out conscious also). We saw some people playing a human size chess game...thought that was cool. J Then, we shopped for souvenirs and ate dinner and went to our hotel. So, if you're ever in New Zealand...you can afford to miss Christchurch. Although, to be fair, we figured part of our lack of enthusiasm of Christchurch is because we were ready for Fiji ...To relax and do nothing for 7 days! We flew out of ...
