Blue Lagoon and Octopus, Yasawa Islands , Fiji


We arrived in a downpour so quickly left Nadi on the Yasawa flyer, a very slick operation, that leaves at 8.30am distributing tourists at 20 odd resorts, turns around at about 1pm and then redistributes them on the way back, arriving back in Nadi at 6pm.




We stayed for 3 days at Blue lagoon beach resort, a lovely resort if a bit overpriced, on Yacula Island. The sea was suffering from Cyclone Yasmin and there were showery squalls. But we still had  lovely day when we went for a walk over the hills.
The film was made over at Turtle island (seriously expensive) but the whole area is beautiful.



We then left for Octopus Resort on Waya Island. This is a more comfortable, better appointed resort. The reef started just off the beach and extended across the bay with lovely snorkelling. We met some very interesting people from all walks of life.







We have run out of Picasa web album space so wait awhile for update!!!!!!
