Snorkeling at Honeymoon Island


























Today we rented a boat to take us out snorkeling to Honeymoon Island. Honeymoon Island is a very small private island that is leased by a local resort and reserved for couples to spend the day at alone. The couple on the island that day was probably none too happy to see us pull up! Lucky for them, we only stayed for an hour or so. Lucky for us, they didn't seem to mind at all.
The snorkeling was amazing! The best we've seen on the island, and the best I've seen maybe ever. The corals are spectacular, even more amazing than the tropical fish. Elle joined Justin and I and made us so proud. She is such a little fish in the water, and had no fear at all. She swam with her mask (ditched her snorkel), nearly all the way around the island and wanted to go even further. She would dive down to get a closer look at the coral and fish, and often would lead the way. We were both amazed by her! Maureen came along and kept Liam onshore. He enjoyed the boat trip and water as well.
It's been a rainy, lazy afternoon since, which is just perfect with us!
Yesterday, I suffered a bit from island fatigue. Too hot, too muggy, too buggy, and bored! I know I will be eating those words when we get to chilly and bustling Beijing... so today, I awoke with a fresh outlook. I'm ready to enjoy our last few days in Fiji!
