We moved to our second Island Nacula. It was just over the way from Tavewa, still in the Yasawa group, but couldn't be more different! It was much larger and had a permanant population of around 2500people. There were much bigger resorts on the Island - with bars much to Jims delight! Our resort however was still very small - but very nice. It was called Nalova Bay, but was next to one of the Main resorts so we could sneak over there to the bar. Our Bure was gorg...

We arrived in Fiji on the mainland late afternoon. We were greated by a Fijian band as we got off the plane. We spent our first night on the mainland Nadi as we couldn't get out to the Islands until the following day. We stayed at smugglers cove which was nice. They had a Fijian dance group perfoming that night so we stayed to watch them, but had to get an early night as we had to catch the boat at 7.15am the next morning. So the next morning we were taken to the...

With New Zealand nearly at an end we returned to Christchurch to spend our last week back at Leah and Bills. Didn't do too much our first few days back. Clare got her hair cut and James had to go to the dentist as he chipped his tooth on a mint in Dunedin! That night Bill hosted a poker night at his house. Was a fun night although Bill won! HE did treat us all to a bottle of wine with his winnings - pattercakes does have a heart after all! The next day was very s...

We arrived in Dunedin early evening, Bill had booked another holiday home for us to stay in. It was about 15mins from Dunedin in a small place called Warrington. Took us a while to find it, but when we did it was lovely. A wooden house right on the beach, had a wood burning fire and a balcony. Bill and Leah arrived shortly after us, that night the four of us had a couple of bottles of wine and a few rounds of Balderdash. Well what else would you expect from a gro...

We headed over to Invercargill unsure what to expect. The book says it is full of boy racers and girls with big hair, and Bill tells us the locals are rednecks. We arrive and our accommodation is awesome, the best we have stayed in so far. The lady at the desk seemed normal enough so all was good. The town itself was a little shabby, a bit like a poor mans Manchester, not very pretty. It's fair to say we spent most of our time in our lovely room watching Telly a...
