…about time ..
The first sight was blue …
A little lunch while the room was prepared
Sorbet shots with squid to start
Duck fried rice
Desserts for lunch and dinner
Pavlova a la Fiji
Then an intro to our Beach front Bure
Bula!
From out front
Somewhere to clean the beach off
Welcoming gift of flowers and Veuve
Our outdoor shower
The infinity pool was next
Swimming lessons needed
But what a way to relax
Dinner was all dressed up
The dinning room
With kava to wash it down
Mmmm … cold, used dishwashing liquid
The evil bowl
Our bure’s day bed for those tough afternoons
… some time out
.. and Silly times
Kiss the burn
And a place to trial the next cozie
A small island in the middle of the bay provided the “sand bar”
To sit back …
and watch the sun set
Back view
Great colours
At the dock
The morning greeted us from outside our bure
A closer look
Revealed a Beautiful start to the day
Morning selfie
Liku Liku (resort name) = calm watres
Back to the pool again
Horizons blurred
With the mandatory tropical cocktails
Another sun set
With great views
And katie
yup
mmm
Breakfast with freshly blended juices or … mud crab omelette
And a view
View from above
Next sunset …
Complete with kava ceremony
nice
To continue the decadence we booked a private sand island for two
.. over here
Complete with packed lunch and champagne
Some cheese to start before the snorkel
Taking it all in
Being in the middle of the ocean the water was amazing
Pretty bloody happy with myself
My Bond girl ..
Who after a snorkel with a shark, stayed firmly on the sand
The island dropping away from view on our return
Once back I took a light sail to check out the land slide they had a month earlier!
And the over water bures we were moving to
On moving in we were quite excited
Glass floors
Tub with a view
Huge deck
To watch the sunset
With a little wine
And your wife
Not like this back home
The next day involved some exploring of the Coral out front
Or perhaps from the balcony
beautiful
Fresh shower as you come up
And the view from the tub was good too …
Also facing west
Ahhh .. good times
Bure lights, to illuminate the water at night
Torches were also required to miss the frogs on the way to dinner
A light juice after breakky
While kate enjoyed the water
relaxed
One solid afternoon shower … meant Fiji’s best was not enough
… champagne again
While we sat and watched it fall
bucketing
Later we were excited to see the rain stop
.. but then … a Beautiful last day
To see us off
Blue lagoon waters
Kate going a hundred miles an hour
Our barman sad to see us go
The farewell song!
Is that a helicopter I hear??
Chopper time
Kate was …. Lovin it ….
Take off from the next island
Yankee Fox trot … over
