Honeymoon Feb 09

After a night on the mainland at Denaru, we headed off for the island


…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
