Back to Basics




After a lot of hanging around and waiting at the wrong hotel, we finally got in the minibus to take us down to Robinson Crusoe island. This in its self was an adventure, with the Albino fijian and gay Ronnie up the front getting us there after stopping at every Mango market on route.

When we arrived at the island it was slightly different to the rest of Fiji and we soon learnt that power showers were classed as luxury items, as now we needed to fill one bucket of water in to a hanging bucket and turn the tap on to get the dribbling shower head started....you also need to be only 4ft tall....so interesting squating took place and we now all have lovely toned thighs!!

The evening activities that were put on for us were really good and involved lots of half naked toned men....sorry i mean tribal dances which included the knife and fire dance, it wasnt just the heat of the flames that was getting us all hot and flusterred (sorry boyfriends!). Later in the evening when we all cooled down it was time for games, i dont think we had laughed so much. The game consisted of two teams of 6, one at a time from each team had to run to the wooden pole, run round it 10 times and then head back to the next team member....easy! Well no not once you have had a few beers and run round the pole so many times that you literally have no clue how to walk let alone run back to your team members. Katie and Debbie went off at the same time and then both kept taking it in turns to fall flat on their backs, it was a good time had by all.

We have now arrived in Auckland where the temperature is a little cooler and the luxury of our room with no sharing with 30 other randoms!

Love you long time
