August 26th (Wednesday) - Day 177 - Bounty Island and Robinson Crusoe Island (RCI)We had to have our token bad day as we have had one in most countries so far. Today was Fiji's turn. We spent the morning by the pool waiting for our transfer back to Nadi. It was due about half 12 so we went and sat waiting for it. The staff then didn't seem to know anything about this boat and spent ages trying to ring them. Couldn't get a hold of anyone. About half 1 we were abou...

August 24th (Monday) - Day 175 - Bounty IslandOur transfer to Bounty Island was not until midday but we had to be out the room by 10. Hence we packed up and left our bags in reception. We didn't want to go too far either as it was high tide. We grabbed a couple of sun loungers and sat as close to the beach as we could. As the tide went out we kept sneaking closer to the water. The dogs kept getting underneath our seats so we had to keep pushing them off. On time ...

August 20th (Thursday) - Day 171 - Nadi and Mana IslandAfter talking about why we had to move beds I was too mad to sleep so didn't even bother. Instead we got ready to grab a very early breakfast.

So we had to run up to the cash machine. It was a good 30 minute wal...

August 19th (Wednesday) - Day 170 - Nadi...We arrived in Nadi about 4. We found the guy picking us up and then had to wait ages as he was picking other people up to. One of which went to a travel shop to sort out what he was doing. We had not booked anything either and were worried when we were told by reception that the travel desk in the hostel was shut until the next day. We hung around looking at leaflets and the lady who ran the desk saw us and was kind enou...

August 18th (Tuesday) - Day 169 - AucklandOur last bus journey in New Zealand. It's been great but I am glad to not to be on a bus again for a while. We had a lot of stops to cover off today. The first being a little sleepy village. We had a quick walk around and found a path that led through some mangroves. Our next stop was in a place called Opononi; this is really famous for a dolphin that used to play with tourists in the bay back in the 1950's. We were made ...
