Bye Bye Dolphin Bay

Gutted that we have to leave here this morning. Especially when we know that we are faced with 2 days of solid travel, which we are not looking forward to, to get back to Nadi to fly onto Tonga. So after breakfast we said goodbye to everyone and the staff all sang us a farewell-song in Fijian...

Corals that look just like cabbages

As soon as the generator started this morning at 7am we woke up, dressed, and walked to the restaurant to eat breakfast before I squeezed into my stinger suit, applied some sun-cream, grabbed some fins and got on the boat to take us snorkelling and another guest diving leaving at 8:30am. The...

Snorkelling

After breakfast this morning Chris went off for an early snorkel whilst I waited behind and watched him from the beach waiting for him to return to inform me whether or not there were any jellyfish in the water as I wasn’t keen to risk it again. After about an hour he returned having failed to...

Jellyfish, sharks and a lost Chris, or a blind Charly?

Just before getting ready to go snorkelling this morning a couple that are staying here, Carla and John returned from a swim with John having 2 bad jellyfish stings, 1 on his arm and another on his neck. This immediately got me worried so I opted for a stinger suit then after seeing a jellyfish...

To yet another place in paradise

We awoke by 6am to get down to the bus station for departure at 7 to Taveuni where we would get picked up by the Dolphin Bay Divers Retreat boat. There had been some rain overnight so the mud road was slippery and we have to “hail to the bus driver” for his skills driving a very crappy old...

Fish with Miti (Coconut)

It was nice to have a lie-in this morning, especially in our air conditioned room! So after lounging about for a while we took a walk into town and went for some delicious lunch at a little local shack eating ‘fish with miti’ which we ordered although clueless what it would be and a Chicken...

A lot of travelling, travelling with many smelly bodies

Alarm went off at 4:30am closely followed by a bang on the door from a sleepy Bobo, so time to hurry and get ready to walk up to the main road by 4:45am to get our taxi to the ferry. Guided mainly by moonlight the walk took about 10 minutes but luckily as the rain had held off it was pretty...

Our own private beach and ocean

Today was another Bobo expedition, so we thought we better get some breakfast inside us, which was some Weetabix with fresh fruit, avocado, and then wholemeal pancakes with Forest honey and star fruit jam – as delicious as every other meal at Bobos! After breakfast we packed up and headed...

Farm tour

We awoke at 4.30am to say goodbye to Andy and Abbe, then straight back to bed. We had a good lie in and then we went for a farm tour with Bobo. The farm is spread over a large portion of the 500 acres that Bobo owns, but it is in no way a conventional farm. He has pigs and cows but it is...

Visiting a local school and drinking with the chief!

Today we planned to chill in the morning and go for a village tour in the afternoon. We had a good walk around the village and then had an amazing tour of the school, which has to have the best view from any school in the world. The kids seemed so happy to see us and sung us some nice songs...
