Magical Matamanoa

Today we woke up and went down for breakfast at the cafe of our accommodation - banana pancakes and a mocha for B and potato cake with egg, spinach and beans and a flat white for me. We then did some reading before checking out just before 11am and strolling over to the port to check in for our transfer to Matamanoa island. We checked in, gave our bags over and paid a fuel surcharge (F$20 each) before grabbing some drinks and free wifi at a nearby cafe. Soon enough we were boarding the catamaran for the 2 hour journey. We stopped off at a few places on the way - it was fascinating to watch the resorts bring out a people boat and a luggage boat for the ocean transfer. Arriving at Matamanoa, we were sung a welcome song as the little boat cruised into the beach. We got some cold towels and fruit drinks during check in and were taken to our room - the same one we had in 2018 🤣. We had a relaxing afternoon in the plunge pool, reading and playing card games before heading up to the restaurant for dinner at 6:30pm. We shared bruschetta for entree, B had a chicken dish with ratatouille veggies and pesto and I had a sundried tomato pasta. We shared a banana bread and butter pudding for dessert before heading back to our room for the night. One of our favourite people from 2018 is still here, so we chatted to at dinner and I shared some pictures from 2018 with her.Baca lagi
