    Homemade food

    Jude: I use whitebait but it is #2 we eat the good stuff, one of the staff love whitebaiting and gives it to me helps to keep the fish food bill down a bit. P.S. Whitebait season starts next month the 15th I think. I better order some nets in.
  4. We had a 1970 Ford Falcon for 20yrs which was our everyday car Also restored a 1928 Essex that was before we had kids Sold it when we had kids and bought a little caravan and we went everywhere man, that how we found Port Waikato after 30yrs in Auckland.

  10. Very nice how did they get those nice big corals? The substrate looks natural thats what I saw in Taveuni.
  11. I have trained the staff to look after them, plus I have someone house sit.
  12. Sorry didn't see this post; We had a great time really relaxing apart from going back to school for 5 days learning to dive. Nice Island to stay quiet and remote just what we needed working 7 days a week with only 9 hours off on a wednesday we really look forward to our holiday once a year. Not an overly good Island for kids it's main focus is diving, but they do have a baby sitting service. The rooms don't have cooking, which is what we want anyway eating breakfast, lunch and dinner in the lovely setting open to the view only shuttered off in a storm. With everyone meeting for meals, drinks its a nice way to make friends, they have a local band play every night and they were good. We didn't do much apart from sleeping, eating, reading and diving the weather was good don't think I could stand it in the summer. It's just over an hour to fly from Nandi to Taveuni, there is a boat that takes 14 hours might try that next time. It cost $690.00 Fijian each for our course, then $330.00 for both of us for 2 dives in the morning, starting at 8.30am and getting back for lunch at 1pm I really enjoyed the diving Never to old to learn Till the next one Fay

  17. We made some lovely friends and they are going to post a disk of all the underwater photos he took, they are from Sydney and are long time divers and great fun. will post them up when I get them. Jetski we are going to go back next year it took 5 days to pass the dive course and we had three dives on the reef, but they have heaps of sites to dive on. We did 3 off shore dives in the course and even that was great.
  18. Had a great holiday here are a few pics of the corals exposed at low tide Leathers out of water View from our room Fay & Frog with Dive Instructor Tawake A great guy looked after us well we are PADI open water divers now It was mind blowing to see the fish and corals etc
