..day three...

So yesterday fiona (my bunkmate that i'm now sort of travelling with) and I sat out on the beach with tanning oil on. It was pretty cloudy for a while, but then it cleared up, for about two hours. We were/are burnt as hell. Fiona's from England, so her skin is pretty close to as fair as mine. You can imagine the pain we've been in today.
We spent the day on South Sea Island, which takes about five minutes to walk around. It's pretty cool, I've got to say. it's a coral beach, which isn't all that comfortable to walk on with bare feet, but it was white and the water was turquoise blue. I went snorkelling as well, and it was really cool. It was getting to low tide though, and I was really really close to the coral and got a few scratches on my legs. Got some cool pics though. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to use my beautiful wonderful new camera because I do not have the battery charger with me. There was a girl here yesterday who had the same charger thing, and she said I could use it, but she took my battery off after like half an hour, which did practically nothing. So, I bought a cheap disposable underwater camera. I'm pretty bumed about the battery thing though. I should be able to buy one in NZ, but I was really hoping to get more pics of Fiji with it. Fiona said that I could use all her photos of Fiji though. So it works out alright.
Smugglers' Cove is going to store my luggage while I'm off at Beachcombers Island, and the woman at the travel desk said that she would keep my laptop at her place for the next couple days because the luggage storage room isn't guarenteed to be 100% safe. She said she doesn't do it very often either, so that's really cool. I think I'm going to be in and around $600FJD for this trip, which is pretty good considering I'm not living too too cheap. I'm doing just about everything I want to. I might be $100 or two over that if I decide to do parasailing or something like that. I don't know yet. I don't really care either. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make money in NZ, so yeah.
Tomorrow night should be a right party on Beachcombers. It's supposed to be the party island and tomorrow is Friday and I think it's all book up.
Oh, and here at Smugglers I'm staying in a 36 bed mixed dorm. I thought that was pretty big, until I heard that Beachcombers is and 84 bed mixed dorm. It'll be like camp or something. It's going to be absolutely nuts!
Anyway, I'll talk to you later, I'm not sure what the internet's going to be like on Beachcomber, so I might not email you back for a couple days, I don't know. But for sure I'll be emailing you on Sunday night, which is late in the evening on Saturday for you.
Love you lots,
Mo
