  Thursday 19th of October 2017 and I skipped the early morning bird watching. I enjoyed tea and MAX in my room before going for breakfast at 7 thirty. Bus will come to pick me up at 08:20 for  transportation to Port Denarau Marina. Leaving Westin Denarau Island Resort and it will be a few minutes to get to Port Denarau Marina and the boat.
I was a little late for breakfast as I had some birds on my balcony, the Red-vented Bulbul and the Vanikoro flycatcher. I decided to set up my play back device (My phone and a JBL Bluetooth speaker) on the balcony. Time turned quick and I had to dash off to the restaurant. I had the same as yesterday and I was outside waiting for my pick-up quarter past 8. I asked them to call me a taxi at 8 thirty, now it is the second time Awesome Fiji Adventure cheat me on my free ride to the boat in Port Denarau Marina.  Red-vented Bulbul on my balcony

I had time to get some pictures of two Fiji Woodswallows sitting in the tree outside the entrance chasing insects. My taxi came and there had not been any sign of any “courtesy” transportation  from Awesome Adventures Fiji.
It takes a few minutes to get to Port Denarau Marina and they have a fixed price, 7 Fiji $ for one way. I got out of the taxi and I went to Awesome Adventures Fiji/ South Sea Cruises check-in counter. I got my ticket after having a discussion about their pick up. I claimed the taxi fare but they told me that they could not do anything as it was a courtesy bus. I got on board the boat and I took my seat in the back on the middle deck. And as I had suspected, the cruise was nothing like the pictures on their web page. People lounging and enjoying themselves with refreshments.  Awesome Adventures Fiji/ South Sea Cruises check in

Well, I had not expected much, but I will  hopefully see some sea birds during our “cruise”. The cruise is actually to ge ton board a commuter boat and as you understand, there won't be much sights to see. Just water and I have enough of that sight already.
3 hours and I will do my best to enjoy myself in the back. We left Port Denarau Marina and the first stop is the South Sea Island. I learned that this is the island we will stop at on our “Finding Nemo Cruise” tomorrow. So tomorrow's “cruise” is about 15 minutes to the island and then we will board the boat when they come back after 2 hours or so.  Approaching South Sea Island

Seaspray Day Adventure, sounds like the adventure of a life time reading South Sea Cruises web page. We dropped passengers that would join the Seaspray Day Adventure. The boat was full and we can imagine exactly how exciting this adventure will be. No space to move around on the boat. And the heat, it is darn hot here on Fiji. The sun is burning you through the clothes. And passing Seaspray made me worried about my full day cruise on Saturday. The boat was full and it looked very uncomfortable. Imagine spending a day on that sailboat We left Mana behind and we had have about as many passengers boarding us that we had dropped at the different islands.  Approaching another island

We were back at Port Denarau Marina just before 3 o'clock. I went to the supermarket to buy some Pepsi MAX But they only had Coca Cola products and I will have to buy my stuff at the Mini Mart at the hotel. I returned to my room with my MAX and I was pretty happy with the day so far. The time had passed pretty quickly during the “cruise” And I have plenty time for tea and oatmeal before going for my afternoon birding. And my plan is to walk down the road towards the Port Denarau Marina to see what I can find. Click HERE, it might turn out to get exciting.

E ni Svenskar och inte förstår Engelska så ska ni skämmas. J och Björn, med det menar jag inte att alla mina stavfel ska ältas varje gång vi träffas.
Well, the flag of Skåne, just a BONUS flag.
