So I’ve had a slight change of plans. Casey and I were thinking of doing the Cloud 9 excursion, however, I was looking at a few more reviews and there were some negative ones that I couldn’t ignore. It sounds great, but I’ve since decided to figure out a new path for our free day while in Fiji. I am still looking into Castaway Island – especially since there are other students that will be there. I’ve always been interested in and wanted to learn how to surf. Castaway Island offers surfing, but I’m wondering if it’s only for resort members. Apparently the time we are going is called wettest season and the perfect chance for beginners to surf. The waves aren’t as overwhelming and the water tends to be a little less crowded compared to the winter season which runs March-November. If anyone is thinking of wanting to surf or has other ideas for our free day in Fiji let me know! I’ve been told by an experienced traveller that being enriched in the culture of new lands is the best thing one can do for the soul. This being said, I would like to see if there are more traditions that tourists are allowed to be apart of perhaps.
