Happiness

We boarded a 3 day cruise 3 days ago-(fancy that)-and it was great! the Crew came to know me as "talented girl" at the end of the 3 days- (again fancy that) :) but more on that later.. the boat was nice though the smell of the engine was nauseating. We met a lot of nice people and had a lot of fun.

We spent all most the whole day on the boat sailing to Barefoot Island. When we got there they gave us a tour of the small- (and i mean small- it took 97 steps from one side of the island to the other) island with no electricity. :(

Sleeping on the island was one step up from camping,we slept in Bures with thatched roofs and outside toilets and showers. for teatimes and meals they would beat the drums for everyone to report to what was called the Main Bure to eat, and if you were lucky enough to hear it you would get to eat fresh fruits and the catch of the day.

The snorkeling hear was amazing. As you swam trough the heaps of coral in ever color you can imagine right of the beach the fish dart,turn,and sore around in bright flashes of exotic colors!

every morning we would bored the boat and sail to a new adventure- witch include snorkeling, village tours and much more.

The last night the 9 people and the crew through a culture night (basically a humiliating talent show.) we did a big magic show and every one else did theirs. at the end Fiji did a show with a bunch of men in grass skirts and bracelets took their axes and spun,flipped, twirled them around as they danced around bare chested- :). Despite the skirts it was very manly.

After that they took us out side and did a fire performance.-Do i need to say anything else? IT WAS COOL.
As they flipped the blazing torches and set the grass around them a fire they danced and sang.

We are now in Nandi, Fiji in a cute little hotel- with electricity. :)

Tomorrow we set out for New Zealand and there we will have free Internet so i will Post all the pictures i have taken when we get there.

Hasta La Bye Bye!
