We flew into Nadi, the main island- here's a little view from the sky 
The first few nights we stayed at the Radisson Resort on the main island. Fancy dinners, walks on the beach, afternoon massages... the usual ;-)
we then took a 5hr ferry to the Yasawa Islands- close by they filmed "Castaway" and "Blue Lagoon". The Fiji waters were crystal clear and just the right shade of Turquoise
the Blue Lagoon Resort was run by locals of that island who performed local song and dance one of the evenings
we spent our days snorkeling around the coral reef right in front of the resort (from land it just appeared to be dark coral spots- but just below the water were such bright colored fish and plants everywhere) and then lounging around in the hammocks
this is one of the sights from the movie "blue lagoon", once we were in the main cave (seen here), you then had to dive under to get to the other parts- about 5 seconds underwater and total darkness as you arrived on the other side- we were a bit nervous!
on our last day we attended a hurch service- there are apx 100 people on the island, predominantly Christian and we went to a Methodist serive led in the local language- quite a different experience
one last walk on the beach and it was time to set sail! we were not ready to leave at all!!
and one final amazing sunset in Fiji before flying back home as Newlyweds!
