Today is our penultimate day island hopping, it's gone crazy fast! But the best ever thing was that at breakfast we had chocolate cake and pineapple! I was so happy, I even took a few bits for later (that eventually got all crumbled in my bag but it's fine, it tastes great!).
After we brought our bags to reception, we went down to the dive hut to prepare for swimming with sharks. We grabbed our snorkel gear and headed to the boat. It took under ten minutes to get to the reef, and they feed the sharks in a pool in the middle of the coral. It was amazing! We were with white tipped reef sharks and they were much smaller than I imagined but still so magnificent. After my dreaded snorkel at Robinson Crusoe Island, I kept my life jacket on, but kinda regretted it as it kept getting in my way. But I felt safe the whole time which had made me want to do it again, unlike the last time!!
The boat journey back was 100% scarier than the swim! The waves had picked up a bit on the way back and this meant that I kept flying out of my seat and slamming back down, causing my bum too hurt rather a lot! But despite my terror every time we soared over a wave it was a lot of fun!
We only had an hour or so before lunch so we chilled out for a bit on the beach. After lunch we went back to sunbathe, and I also went and made an anklet out of shells. The time went pretty quickly and it was time to move on to Beachcomber, our final Island.
Jumping on to the boat, it was clear that Beachcomber was similar to Robinson Crusoe Island - it looked like it was straight out of a movie. Paradise. Beachcomber is known as a party island, but as we came on off season there wasn't as many people so less of a partaaayyy and more like in bed by 10 #cray. However, on the upside we asked for another free upgrade and we got another private room which is super awesome!
Beachcomber is a two and three coconut island so it's already more luxurious than the other places we've stayed at, definitely more of a holiday resort than a cultural experience! The food was amazing. We had a 4 course a la carte menu, but for pudding we only got ice cream and we noticed that other people had cake. This didn't sit right with me, so I asked them if we had cake and we got two pieces each! This day has just been amazing!
We then watched their Polynesian dance and fire show, but I didn't take any pictures this time as it was pretty much the same as smugglers and Robinson Crusoe. I will never get sick of watching it though, it's so good!
Emma and I then cracked out the wine I have had in my bag since the last day of Feejee Experience! I had left it in the sink in cold water since dinner so it was kinda cool, but wasn't brilliant. We then went to the bar expecting everyone to be there dancing, but there was about 6 people and they were all grinding on each other so we decided to go back to the room and watch greys after making use of the free wifi!
