We got up fairly early to make our way down to our old
friends’ place where we could check our water taxi back to Nadi was definitely
sorted for Friday. The staff here were more than happy to see us and we spent
some time chatting with them before heading back up the beach to the water
sports centre at the resort. From here we grabbed our hire snorkels and
flippers (for free) and then made a half hour walk to Sunset Beach – apparently
the best place to snorkel on the island.
We donned the flippers and made our way, very cautiously due
to the slippery rocks, out into the water. The snorkelling lasted all of 15
minutes before Danny decided to head back to the beach as his goggles leaked
causing him to constantly have to resurface. He saw a fair few tropical fish
here though so wasn’t too bothered. Corrie soon made her way back too as she
was scared that sharks might get her!
We then thought we’d walk along the coastline until we got
back to the pool area which was a good walk until Corrie’s second pair of flip
flops broke and, on offering his to Corrie, Danny then had the do the rest
barefoot. This would have been fine if it was all sand but there were the sharp
and very hot rocks to get over which resulted in a very slow paced and sweaty
walk.
The cool waters of the pool were a blessing when we finally
made it back there and here is where we spent the next few hours. After this we
had to drop off our gear back at the centre.
We went back to the bure and ordered room service once more
for our tea before strolling back down to the backpackers for dinks and a chat
with whoever was there. This turned out to be not very many as they were all
away dancing for the rich people of the other, very expensive, resort. We still
had a drink here and sipped them both in one of their huge hammocks, chatting
and looking up at the starry, clear night’s sky.
After our drinks we made the
way back to our luxury bure for a relatively early night.
