Coconut Bay!

As soon as we got off the water taxi to coconut bay and was greeted by a man playing the guitar, we knew we were going to like Coconut Bay. It turned out to be our favourite resort and Island. The meals (all included on the island resorts) were great, the staff were so friendly and would come and talk to you whenever they passed. After dinner they'd do a show where they'd do the "Bula" dance (like the "Macarena") and then you'd all get up and have to do it (we soon saw a pattern forming as at each resort they did this). We also played musical statues with the staff and I won (even though I was trying to lose by moving they just kept looking the wrong way!) and stayed up playing card games with the staff and other guests as there was only 8 of us. We also attended a sarong tying class and a weaving class (as taught by a very funny gay Fijian man called Britney).

Coconut Bay was a great place to snorkel the coral reef which was really pretty as the waters were so clear but also to lay in a hammock and watch the pretty shield bugs on the tree branch above. It was nice until one would fall unceremoniously on my head! But also from the hammock (I spent the best part of the day in it) I watched the sunset over the sea. It was sad to leave.
