All's quiet

I know it's been pretty quiet on the blog recently, but to be frank, there is nothing to report. Seriously. I know it's hard to believe but we have been sitting around doing nothing. Except the odd swim in the pool, a bit of wine or beer, eating and sleeping. Nothing else. 
This is all about to come to an end though. Tomorrow evening we leave Fiji and the Fiji Orchid and land in Hawaii (about 18hrs before we left). Looking at what we have planned to do, I think we will be very busy on Hawaii, pretty cruise-ie on Kauai and a bit busy on O'ahu before we come home (losing a day when we do)
So you can keep and eye out for more posts from us over the last two weeks of our holiday in Hawaii.

a little side trip...

Wow, I have to admit to a fairly major oversight. I completely forgot to tell you all about our major side trip. We went off for a little three night trip to Bonaira Beach Resort on Naviti Island. It was very different to here, but very nice, even if the food wasn’t as good. We had so fantastic sunsets and even managed to get a bonus cache!! This wasn’t the reason we went there, but when we arrived and I discovered that the next closest cache was only 3km away, it was just too hard not to go and get it.  Here are some photos.

The coral and swimming here was nice too....

Fiji

When we arrived here at the Fiji Orchard I was a little shocked with how flash it is.  That was Sunday and I have now well and truly adjusted to it.  We have one of 6 luxury garden bures. They seem to me to be of Japanese origin. Although they are a few years old, they are really comfortable. The front opens completely and it’s almost like being outside.
The pool here is just gorgeous. I am happy to say this place doesn’t even allow kids.  The food isn’t ace for me, but I am a bit fussy and I have no complaints.  Anyway I can’t say enough nice things about here. So nice in fact, that rather than booking an entire second week somewhere else, we have picked a small island to visit for 3 nights, then we are coming back here.

Here are photos (in no particular order).
