Checking in....

Back to reality after our wonderful holiday - I will be sharing some photos over the next few days - there are lots more on my facebook photo album. Oh and Morgan will be posting some of his photos on his blog too...

Below is a picture of my rest spot just outside our bure. I know your hearts will be bleeding for me - seeing the suffering I undertook to endure this torture...


Two weeks in a hammock - I was only allowed to write three post cards the whole time and not allowed to think about writing or computers or the internet.... ahhh. bliss.....

The hammock was an exhasting 20 steps from our bure. I managed to drag battered body to it every morning, too weak to move most of the day.. being forced to drink Pina Coladas or cram more fresh fruit or fish down my mouth..... The calm coral sun swept beach was a staggering 15 steps further; where if I could muster the energy, I would snorkel and float about till the strain and stress was too much to bear.

The kids swam, made sandcastles, hunted crabs ( nasty things crabs - they move fast !!) caught toads, swam, ate coconuts, hand fed fish, collected seashells, swam and then for a change swam a bit more. I think they have grown fins.


Ahhh .. now back to reality...

now back to my 1000000 emails...

Fiji- back ......sigh

What an incredible holiday we have just had – one so special I am going to post pictures every few days and a snippets about each picture.

Check out Morgans blog too – he took some very interesting photos from his perspective and little bits about them as well.

What can I say? As the memories of our holiday slip away from my memory like a thief in the night; we try to keep a hold of the relaxation and bliss we felt whilst away – not a care in the world – the worst thing to worry about was what new item on the menu would we try next.

Morgan and Lilly loved Kids Club – a very different experience than a babysitter or commercial type – where the ‘crazy’ guys would take them to catch frogs or crabs, they would build sandcastles, throw spears or roll coconuts on the beach, hand feed fish or learn to weave coconut leaves.

Adrian and I have an incredible time together – connecting and chatting.. seeing each other…. With and with out the kids. They would have dinner at 5.30 and then off to kids club and then we would have several hours alone.. together…to have cocktails and a beautiful meal together – before picking the exhausted peeps up and toddling off to bed in our little beach hut.

Sigh….
