Castaway Island

Setting off on our giant bright yellow Awsome Fiji Adventures Catamaran around the Mamanuca Islands, we worried that we had chosen the right Island to visit for the day. Castaway caught our attention because of the name but also because of the restriction to only 15 visitors on the resort per day. As we passed the beautiful Treasure Island, Mana Island, Bounty Island (home to Celebrity Love Island) and many more, we worried that Castaway might not be as nice as the one's we had rejected. 1 hour at sea and a little boat picked us up from the cat and took us ashore...of the MOST BEAUTIFUL Island your mind could ever dream up. It was amazing!
A green tropical raiforested mountain wore a white skirt of sand which danced on the bluest see we've ever seen. We were greeted by a fijian band, wearing colourful clothes and struming at their guitars and their vocal chords they welcomed us.
The island was fringed by a colourful and rich reef that we explored for over and hour and didn't tire of, and then a bottle of white wine and catch of the day awaited us for lunch. After lunch a little relaxing, and then Chris joinned the Fijian resort guys in beating a group of New Zealanders at beach volley ball.
They had to prise us away from the Island with wet eyes when the cat returned. It was the most beautiful place we've ever seen, and we have already promised to go back and stay on the island next time.

Now on to the next adventure, Sydney for 2 days and then New Zealand!

P.S. There are days when you have to wash with a bucket and all your clothes need a wash when you are travelling, but then there are days when you feel like a celebrity and on Castaway we had one of those days.
