We arrived onto Beachcomber island!! Home of the Bula dance and there own version of the classic Venga Boys choon, "We're going to Ibzia", (Oldies will remember this as "We're going to Barbados"), except we were all going to "Beachcomber, back to the island. Fly away on Air Pacific, flying high, Fijian Sky!" Not sure how Air Pacific rhymes, but it worked some how!!
The Bula dance is a funky version of the macarena, but a much better song to accompany it, not so neurotic!!
Beachcomber was the party island, and party is what we did. For 3days and 3 nights we partied in the evenings and then recovered on the beach. Well we baked on the beach anyway!! It wasnt that relaxing, but it was great fun, and we met some great people. We moved to Mana island after our 3rd night. We stayed there for 3 nights. We met Ellie and Jules in Beachcomber and we went with them. We had alot of fun! It was less party like and more chilled out!! They beach had nicer sand, and there was a hammock between the palm trees. This truely was paradise!! We also managed to go scuba diving as well. We started by snorkeling for 40mins, and the coral was so much brighter and there were so many more fish here than on the Great Barrier reef. To be honest, i would have been satisfied with just the snorkeling. Saying that the scuba dive was incredible. We thought we would just see alot more coral, and a lots more fish, but we were lucky enough to see 5 sharks!!! It was crazy. One of them swam within 4 meters of me!!! That was barmy!! Loved every min of it! It was a sad day when we had to leave Mana, we had had such a great time. Also an irish chap had showed up an he looked like sam from lord of the rings, so that gave us great entertainment!!
It was time to embark on our 2nd longest flight of the trip so far!!
