Where I stayed
Coral View Resort
Packed all my bags and checked out of my room at 9.30 am and then headed to the beach for the last time here. The boat was coming to pick me up at around 12.30 pm. Both myself and Jacky were leaving and the staff sang us a traditional Fijian goodbye song and gave us a garland made of frangipani, which smelt amazing.
We got onto the little boat to take us to the Catamaran. As soon as I got onto the Catamaran, I had to get off again as the resort I am staying at is literally just over the water. I could have swam there!
This time there were more people going to the resort. There was around 14 people coming over with me. Yeah, a bit more life!! The resort again is lovely. This is a little more modern and has 24hr electricity even if it from a generator, and I can use my hairdryer, yes!!!! We were greeted by the staff singing a welcome song and a drink of juice. We were taken inside where we had lunch straight away. After lunch we were shown to our rooms and the dorm has air-con which is a godsend as it is so hot. I spent the rest of the day doing what I do best, sunbathing. I definitely got wind burnt as my face is now peeling and I look like I have a disease! Need to cover my face up for a few days and get all this dead skin removed.
There are some cool people here and unfortunately I have made friends with a welsh guy who is a Cardiff City fan. I thought it was gonna kick off first off all but I put him in his place and we all know who's boss!!! There is Anthony from Cardiff, Gary & Adam from Portsmouth, Joe from somewhere in England but can’t remember and lots of other great guys and girls that I don’t know their names.
The evening consisted of drinking games with cards. I got stitched up a few times and had to down cans of beer, but don’t worry, what goes around, comes around and I got my own back in the end. It was a real fun night with great people. Shame most of them are leaving tomorrow but I think I have convinced some of them to go to the island that I have on my list next, so when I leave the following day, they will be there! I have such an amazing affect on people!
5th March 12 – Coral View Resort
Not much happened today. Felt slightly hungover and my face is peeling good and proper now so a day out of the sun will do me good.
Some of the guys left today so I spent most of the day in my room watching videos on my laptop.
Met a lovely girl from Switzerland who I hung out with for the evening. There was definitely no party atmosphere happening tonight and I think the whole dorm was in bed by 10 pm.
