Siga na Liga!

The last few days I’ve spent on the lovely Manta Ray Island in the Yasawas. I’m covering a shift for Mike, a South African guy with a great body and a weird accent. It’s been relatively slow on the island but tomorrow I’m starting an advanced adventurer course and I’ve been doing intro dives every morning. But mostly I’ve just been reading a book and hanging out with my Fijian dive team. Oh and bathing in the rinse bin...

On Wednesday night we went into the village of Soso for an evening of Cava drinking. I ended up going into someone’s house to sleep for a bit while my crew drank until 230 in the morning. (They started at 5:30pm, I can‘t go for that long!) Then we cruised under the stars back to Manta Ray which is awesome because you can see about 1,274,839,274,913,284,719 stars at night! Pretty cool. Also cool because that means there were no clouds! Hooray!

Patrick, one of the dive guys taught me how to make a bird out of a palm frond, but without his guidance I’m pretty much a hopeless case. Good thing the next few days will be full of diving and not bird making. I should stick to my day job.

I am supposed to leave Manta Ray on Sunday head to Amanuca. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the place so I’m not exactly what you would call excited. But I’m sure it will be fine! We’ll see!!!
