Bula!

We just got back from a week in Fiji, and it was absolute BLISS!

We spent a week on the island of Qamea, in a honeymoon suite - I know, we're not technically honeymooners, but seeing as it was our anniversary..... Yep, 2 whole years of marriage me tells ya! That's an achievement in this day and age ;o)

The bure (that's Fijian for hut I think!!) was amazing - a 4 poster canopy bed (luckily the drapes closed right around it, cause for some reason in Fiji they just LOVE see through curtains! Guess it's the thought of all those honeymooners.....). We also had OUR OWN JACUZZI! In a private courtyard out the back. And an outdoor shower. And yes, it was private - although it took some getting used to. The first time we used the jacuzzi, we sat there, looking up and around us - searching the trees to make sure no one had decided to "farm some coconuts"!

We met some really nice people too. One of the other couple's, who were Australian, would ask us every evening when we convened at the bar for drinks, what activities we had been up to that day. Without fail, the answer would be.... "not much!" We generally ate, jacuzzi'd, showered, starting drinking at lunchtime (well some people eat lunch at 11am!), had a massage, ate lunch, drank some more, had a nap, had a few drinks at the Bure.... then headed up to the bar for the complimentary canapes!

Other than that, the only thing we really did was indulge in ....... dirty.......... hazy................ smelly............. sessions of......................

SMOKING!

(you dirty thing you!!)

Yep, although Hunky and I don't technically smoke (ok, we smoke. Sometimes) - whenever we go on holidays, we turn into full time smokers. It starts just after lunch, with the excuse of being full and needing a smoke because of that (smoking helps if you've eaten too much, don't you know). Then it's the after lunch cocktail, seeing as we're at the bar (smoking and drinking go together like bacon and eggs!). After a nap, you need a cigarette to wake you up (inhaling 20 toxic chemicals just makes me feel SO ALIVE!)

So yeah, obviously I know - SMOKING = BAD FOR YOU

But still, we smoke.

So I've decided it's time to quit!!! I'll just have one more tonight with the girls, to make sure I'm not missing anything!

Oh, and time for detoxing and healthiness too. I had a salad today, with a little risotto ball thing. Then I had the nutritionally rewarding dinner of - vegemite on toast! I'm not used to making my own dinner dammit! I want my Fiji chef back. And William the bartender. And Louie the waiter! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
