In contrast to the ferry with almost triple the price we get tea and
biscuits for breakfast and curry for lunch. |
|
With the bus I'm going back to
Nadi before ... |
|
... I very spontaneously (reaction time = 20 minutes) start to another
island the next morning. |
|
The sea is quite rough and I don’t get seasick again. Maybe I'm finally
immune? |
|
Only 45 minutes later we arrive at
Mana. |
|
Much simpler and cheaper than
Coral View on Tavewa. |
|
Otherwise everything as usual. |
|
My 4 bed dorm, which I only have to share with a dutch girl (Djura). |
|
The mattresses are something for die-hards. |
|
She also seeks an accommodation, ... |
|
... but fortunately feels more comfortable in another room. |
|
The common room. |
|
And there is actually a community. All play together
Werewolf. |
|
Sad but true: It's nice when the internet is not free, because then -
and only then - the smartphone often
makes place for
direct communication. It may sound melodramatic, but I look forward with
concerns
to a future
in which the web
is completely free everywhere.
For the
sake of completeness it should be mentioned that we are experiencing
evenings with a great atmosphere and lots of laughter. |
|
The beach of the neighboring resort. Trespassing forbidden, but - here I
am. |
|
A few hermit crabs want to get rid of their status and celebrate an
orgy. |
|
We walk across the runway of the local airport ... |
|
... to the so-called Sunset Beach. |
|
Let's
snorkel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, tiny. But it’s a leopard-ray.
Allegedly
rare, so he stays here. |
|
These are corals and fish of all
snorkel
spots on Mana. I can’t attach
them
properly
any more. |
|
I'm probably deeper than I thought. |
|
Later Inka (FIN) organizes a collective camera bath in fresh water. |
|
Because of professional curiosity, I visit the local school. |
|
The professors room. Somehow I
feel already a longing. Kidding. |
|
Here it’s really true. I want to play in the
Klotze again. |
|
Okay, not too bad, too. The Survivor Beach. |
|
Daunting. |
|
But more worth to see. |
|
It probably spoils his appetite.
He catches the bird, snaps his neck - and simply lets it lie on the
beach. |
|
That would never happen to our hostel dog. He begs permanently. |
|
More animals. Bed bugs. The victim wants to kill them on the tin roof. |
|
Other dead animals: The seafood platter (about 60 €), which our Polish
honeymoon couple orders additionally to the regular dinner. |
|
Prelude to the evening dance, in which first the gay employee steals the
main actor the show, ... |
|
... before the former - thanks to the hyperactive children - suffers the
same fate. |
|
The last evening for many of us. Photos are appraised and vigorously
discussed ... |
|
... or laughed at. |
|
The girl on the right is my roommate Djura.
She has madeher
diving license
in the hustle and bustle
and already
packed her
bags
- until she finds
out
that she has booked
one
day
more. |
|
Mi Tu is amused by her own name (pronounced “me too”). |
|
And our
japanese
girl
paints characters. This is mine and means (allegedly!)
fantastic horse. :-) |
|
The next day we only have time for a tour around the island. Yes, it’s a
very small island. |
|
The beaches you know already, so there are only a few rocks now. |
|
|
|
This is it, the moment in which I hear the first farewell song for me
(and others). |
|
Then it's bye bye Mana. |
|
And at the same evening bye bye Fiji. |
|
Fiji is a great place to
relax and snorkel. That's what I wanted and exactly what I got. And
as toppings
a dose insight into the local Indian culture and some very nice
encounters with people of many different nations.
And it
were
again travelers
and tourists of
almost all ages
like for example in Eastern Europe.
Actually, I don't
need Hawaii any more
for recreation.
Actually ... |
