The girls had a dive booked for today so Matt and I went with Anna and Becca to Hire a boat for the day. It only cost about 30 pounds including fuel so it wasnt too bad. We decided to try and catch some fish for dinner and bought some line and weights and mini octopus to see what we could get. I think at this point we were expecting to catch Blue Marlin or something! We set off on the boat which was pretty slow and headed out towards swallows cave dragging fishin...

Today was a day I will never forget in my life and I just know I will not be able to explain in words just how amazing it was. It was finally our chance to go whale watching and apparently we might be able to get in the water and swim with the whales. We got to the boat at about nine and set off in the search for whales. Within 30mins we had seen dolphins and were all getting really excited when we suddenly saw the water hovering above the sea where the whales ha...

Instead we booked a day trip which I think Rynn was more pleased about as she wasnt too keen to get back to basics..Matt and I were gutte...

Our second day in Vava'u was slightly annoying as it was a sunday and absolutely nothing is open so we couldnt even plan the things we wanted to do whilst we were here. We somehow managed to get a taxi driver to take us to this remote beach on the eastern side of the island where we caught a little fishing boat to an island called Mala. It was our first real taste of proper south pacific islands and it is truely stunning. The beaches are white sand and the water ...
