Monday 7th April
Brekkie served at 7am and if you miss this there is no other source of food...so everybody floods the dining area for grub up! Kinda makes you feel like you are in prison at how excited everybody gets at feeding time (the grand event of the day) lol but what a prison! Got Yasawa Flyer at 10.30am to Waya our next island at the Octopus Resort, and what a resort it is! We were welcomed by singing and Bula, think we have found our home...it is Heaven on earth. We are in a 13 bed dorm but there are no bunks, every bed has a fan and there is even 24 hr electricity. Can't believe we love a dorm so much!
We even got to choose from 10 options for lunch and everyone was amazed
Check out the 6 packs!!! YUM!
. The burgers were the size of a spaceship! We have met a nice couple, Sarah and Gareth, from Dublin and we have had amazing craic keeping each other company! In the afternoon we did a tour to the local village where we met the villagers and were humbled at how basically they lived, yet how much they welcomed us. We had a traditional Kava Ceremony with their Chief, where you basically drink muddy water while they put on a singing and dancing show (called a meke). We also had to join in the dancing and Laurie got to shake it with Mr Six Pack...and for once we're not talking about beer!
This evening we had a welcome ceremony back at the resort where again kava was the drink of choice...somehow we managed to wretch our way through it. Afterwards, dinner was served. It was the best food we have ever tasted and they had 3 types of every course...and then dessert! We're getting spoilt rotten and it is definitely pure luxury.
Spent the evening chatting and sipping a few drinks, listening to the ocean, a mere 5 meters away. Life really couldn't get much sweeter than this!
We're here for another night and will definitely be sad to leave this tropical Paradise!
