So the next adventure in Fiji is the Yawasawa chain of Islands. We booked a short stay only because we have horrible luck with arranged tours usually. Just not our thing really....we were correct once again they really are not very good at all. Everyone piles onto these tours out to the Islands, and one company really has the monopoly of it all. Unless you have the money to have a private boat or plane, we do not.
We got on the boat fine, headed to the largest of the islands out there. The water on the way there was clear and deep. Now everyone supposedly goes out here for the swimming, snorkeling, etc.....the tide is out so far and the coral has been ruined by tourists and boats that just don't know any better. From far away your island you get dropped at looks gorgeous then you get up close and BAM...whole other story. We picked one called Korovou eco resort, which there was nothing eco about it and had not been fixed up the 20 or 30 years it has been there. The only eco thing was the shower didn't work, so no water was wasted the whole time we stayed there. I did see Nemo's dad though, pretty cool when we could snorkel.
Our problem is we don't sit and sunbathe all day, and that is what people do here, and drink, oh yeah we don't really do that either. So not really the place for us to say the least.
Fiji is beautiful at times but we have seen better for a whole lot less money. Tan is looking pretty good though, guess we will work on that while we are here. Getting a little stir crazy, you can only relax too much, feel like we should help clean or something at the nice Kiwi owned hotel we are at. They have been amazing to us, very helpful and accommodating.
Well....NZ maybe here we come early...lol.....
