We’re just kicking our feet around in Nadi again today, nursing an Ed’s bar hangover. It was particularly good last night full of Japanese students and Papa New Guineans who are desperate to try and sell their country as a new destination.
We’re flying to Samoa tonight at 0200, it’s gonna be fantastic being back in Apia. Already got Hotel Kitano lined up for a sushi feast followed by some partying in The Lighthouse. Naturally we will be dropping by our old friend Courtney’s bar Cocktails On The Rocks first.

I’m not going to write much about Oarsman’s Bay Lodge on Nacula (pron. Na-thula). I will just post a few photos.
The quality of accommodation and service is really top-notch.
