BOUNTY ISLAND !




Bounty Island was our 2 night stop-over on the way home - anything rather than stay in Nadi! It's a small resort near the mainland, which takes 25 minutes to walk round. It's a nature sanctuary, lots of coral on the beach, a pool next to the sea and a long Happy Hour.





It had an almost deserted feel to it - and we were thanked for coming despite Fiji's crisis and governement (the first time it had been mentioned during our holiday)
The food was buffet style, the bure was adequate and right on the beach.



We met new people at dinner and lots of folk from the UK, travelling the world.





We encountered 'sea-lice' which bite you and cause a rash when you go swimming - I decided I'd done enough snorkelling. And at night black tip sharks came into the shallows, literally a foot away, herding shoals of fish for supper. I'd never realised that sharks hunted in packs, it was an amazing sight!



Our last few days were spent walking around the island, finishing off our novels, watching the spectacular sunsets and chatting to people from around the word. Not a bad end to the holiday!
