Just when i thought it was all going swimmingly .....

So we set off for the Yasawa islands of Fiji and our first stop was Bounty island, part of the Mamanuca group >> http://www.fiji-bounty.com/ , for those who watch British TV, it is where celebrity love island was filmed last year - although i didn't know that until i actually got there - honest!! The had pics of Lee Sharp and Jane Middlemiss etc .,... zzzzz.

It took me about 30 mins to kayak around the island and we stumbled upon the 'Loveshack' apparently! It was shocking to see what the uk based program had left behind, the buildings looked like they had just been left to collapse!



Unfortunately for me, i picked up a cold in New Zealand and therefore am unable to dive the Fijian waters, nevertheless i still snorkelled, which was pretty ace, despite it getting pretty rough at times.

The next stop was 5 hours out of the Mamanucas and into North Yasawa group, to an island called Nanuya lailai. This island was hardcore, no electricity, no hot water, nothing but iddylic scenery and sunshine. We took a walk to the 'Blue Lagoon' apparently where the film 'Blue Lagoon', with Brooke Shields was filmed, and did some snorkelling, i was a bit sad by the amount of dead coral in this lagoon, but it was still amazing and for the second time in my trip i 'found nemo' in his anemone with his family (well actually Les did!)
Night time on the island was pretty dark, with only an oil lantern to find our way around and light up the room, pretty neat tho. We ate food with the locals, were treat to a fijian show, and drank kava (a narcotic local drink) by oil lantern light.



This is where the fun stopped. In the morning Lesley awoke with a pretty serious pain in her pelvis, the pain was so great we had to come all the way back to the mainland to see a doctor (6 hours on a catamaran). To cut along story short, we are now back on the main land, lesley has seen a Dr and been given some meds, and all is well. We hope to head back out to the Yasawas tomorrow.
