July 2023: Bula Fiji

Having spent 10 weeks exploring the Kimberley it was time to have a more relaxing holiday. Fiji has long been on the bucket list however with three children we were never able to make use of the “kids stay free” deals. With the kids grown up it seemed a good excuse to think about one last trip together.  While the cocktail bill at the end of the trip is sure to cost us a house mortgage, this did not put us off booking a week on these enchanted islands.

 

The thought of spending a week at a single resort was not appealing and I dreamed about exploring the many islands of Yasawa and Mamanuca chain.  So, what better way to travel than a week aboard the MV Reef Endeavour. While a cruise would normally bring fears of covid and food poisoning, it was not like the floating megahotels that you see on line. It was small enough to be comfortable as a place to sleep, eat (far too much) and read a book, but also happy to encourage you to get off the boat to explore.

So many choices on what to do
