Fiji

We're home again - thanks for all the well wishes - what a lovely family I have!  No we haven't fallen ill once home to the cold again...although I did pick up a sinus infection..from a pool somewhere?  Anyway we had a awesome time - sadly now the tans are hidden beneath winter clothes again.  However here is a taste of our holiday..found it difficult to choose the photos so there are a lot!!  And by the looks they're in a random order...

 On South Sea Island - a day trip we did from Denarau, our lunchtime entertainment, singing and dancing.  The Fijian people have impressive voices - no need for amplification!
 The beach on South Sea Island...enough said!
 Paying for coffee 'Matt Style'...tip the whole purse out and count it out...poor lady waiting!
 And road works 'Fiji Style' - where you don't want cars to drive - throw around some huge rocks, branches etc to prevent cars being able to drive there!

 Our second resort at Natadola
 An interesting place - quirky you could say!  Was a little like a retirement village - only 11 rooms so small, but the age of the average population there was over 60!  But the rooms were a great size.  We came back one night from dining out at 8.30pm to find ourselves locked out!

 The Sigatoka Train

 Matt's healthy diet!
 The conch shell sounding at sunset
 One on many sunsets - think we only missed 1 sunset in the 9 days we were there - became ritual to be sitting on the beach just before 6pm to watch it descend

 Impressive surfing action by locals - the waves were huge for swimming but perfect for surfing
 Enjoying Fiji life
 Sunbathing Becky Styles
 Bomb off the bridge of our resort
 Lunch out at the next door resort - Intercontinental - was fabulous!

 Wheelchair 'Fiji Styles'

 Locals lined up watching the dancing from the beach!
 Dinner the last night at the Intercontinental
All packed up and about to head to the airport - a great holiday had!

Photos look lovely, wish it was warm enough to swim here. I'm not sure you can say thats all matts heathy diet, as I recall he doesn't eat Ready Salted! I wonder whos that bag belonged to?? Hope you are over your infection and feeling better. That must have been a disapointing end to your holiday, you poor thing. lots of love and hugs and like I said I hope you feel better soon. xxooxxoo (Is that enough well wishes?)
