sorry

Ok

Apologies we have arrived in Fiji after quite an eventful journey. We had to leave Christchurch and fly to Auckland before transferring to Nadi (Fiji). We had 1 1/2 hours between flights. Then the first flight got delayed by an hour!

6 of us on the plane were due to catch the connecting flight. They set it up that we would be let of the plane first so everyone had to stay seated for us to rush off the plane. Then they had people waiting to collect us. What we didn't know was Auckland airport has a separate terminal for domestic and international flights so we were picked up by a taxi. At the international terminal we had to buy a ticket to leave the country! We then were ran through the airport, we were took through the vip part of searching and passport control. We were then ran to the plane. We arrived at the gate to find it hadn't even loaded yet.

We had an uneventful flight and arrived in Fiji at 11pm we were then transferred onto our hotel for 2 nights in Nadi. We arrived at midnight to our ocean view room but had to wait to the morning to see it.

The next day was quite uneventful, the hotel was large and really for people having a restful holiday although it did have its own island. We ate lots, slept lots and had our last drinks of alcohol with several cocktails.

We left the hotel at 5am in the morning to catch the 7am flight to SavuSavu, the airport was one small strip and the plane we travelled in was only a 12 seater. The airport is an open hut! We were transferred onto Namala Tony Robbins resort. It was as wonderful as we imagined. We were greeted with flowers and traditional singing. We then went through registration and signing up for our colonics etc. We met our fellow course members and were fed a meal of raw fruit and veg which was wonderful.

After introductions we were took to the poles! These are approx 30 foot high and we have to climb them, stand on the top and then jump to a trapeze. It was a really amazing feeling to complete. We also got to watch some bats flying around while we were doing it.

There are 45 of us on the course from all corners of the world - its a great course with lots of thought provoking questions !?
We all were given our final meal of fresh foods and salad which was delicious. Then it was on to wheatgrass, oudos oil and the odd fruit juice. thought we would be hungry but actually its not hit us yet. A few people are struggling with the cold turkey style and the caffeine withdrawals, so far we have only suffered a bit of light headedness. We have both had our first colonic ! very interesting but we would recommend it.

We also had our first masage yesterday at the spa, they did the 2 off us in the same room, overlooking the ocean, it was amazing both felt like floating out when we were done.

To energise ourselves in class there are rebounders (mini trampolines) its great fun, if you feel like you are falling asleep you just go to the back of the room and have a bounce its so energising, and actually its a big part of the detox programme as it stimulates your Lymph to flow.

We have had a dramatic tropical storm today - we are not seeing much of the weather as we are in class most of the time. But it is hot and humid.

Yesterday was palm sunday and we all had the chance to go to the local church - it was beautiful, their singing is amazing, all the children were in church - it was fun to watch some of them dropping off to sleep. At the end we were given some colouring pens and paper to hand out to the kids - they were beautiful - those big brown eyes.

This morning we were taken to see a waterfall and we all got to swim in it - what a way to start the day. The guide that took us up to the waterfall was the first one in and he was shouting what are you waiting for get in here ! it would have been rude not to.

Well time to go back to class, I am apologising because I am unable to publish any of the great photos I have taken including those of us doing the jump. I am hoping a computer wizz can connect me to the hotspots around here. Apart from that computers are few and far between so it will only be a posting every few days.
