Snorkelling and sulus

Today we had breakfast then checked out what was on for the day and decided on the short snorkelling trip at 11:30am. After breakfast we headed back to our Bure to read and get ready for snorkelling, after a quick game of chess. We really need to buy a nice set for home. Snorkelling was us and another couple from China who told Sai our snorkel guide they couldn’t swim well at all. Just as well the water is super salty here so you are really buoyant. Bill, our boat captain looked at me and said - “ah, from yesterday, fishing girl”. Snorkelling was great and Sai had an awesome time diving down to get some great pictures for me on the go pro. We went out to what they call “the drop off” which is where the reef literally drops off, so far you can’t see the bottom. We saw some starfish and lots of beautifully coloured fish. The reef itself is a bit monotone but thats not surprising considering the amount of cyclones that have been through Fiji in the last few years. After snorkelling we went to Sulu tying where we learnt how to tie a sulu (sarong) a few different ways. We then had a cocktail and did some reading. At 4pm I had a massage and Brenton had a few drinks. When I got back, we had a glass of champagne while the sun set. Dinner for B was a crab cake, baked mahi-mahi with kumala and sticky date pudding and I had the crab cake, sun dried tomato and bean risotto and a poached pear. Yum! When they sat outside near the pool area listening to the boys playing guitar.Read more
