Lins and Rich’s Travel Blog

Hi everyone, just a mega quick update as the internet here in Fiji is dial up and its rapidly sapping my will to live.

Just come back from five nights on the Yaswas and Mananuca islands off the west coast of the Fiji mainland. Its an amazing place with postcard beachs and crystal clear waters.

In those five days we have visited manta ray island however our luck ran out and we didnt see manta rays but still managed a couple of nice dives (nice corals, all the fish have been caught though) and to put on a stone due to the nice food and Fiji bitter and cocktails. Waylali where we saw a fire dance and learnt a weather dance and got up at 4.30 in the morning to walk to the summit top to see the sunrise. Bounty island which was the home of celebraty love island. Yes we have sat in the same place that such megastars as Calumn Best and Rebbeca Loos have sat.

In a nutshell fiji is a super friendly place full of smiling locals (the happiest locals I have ever met) and its been a lovely 28 degrees so managed to thaw out after new zeland. Its not somwhere I could stay long term but its certanly well worth visiting

 Tommorrow we fly out to LA for the final country in our tour and in three and a bit weeks its back to reality. There I will write a proper blog about fiji and upload some photos. Untill then everyone say bula (means hi/life/happy) and see you all soon
