Seattle Could Use a Little More Bula!


April 11, 2019

A beautiful day here. The sun is out and there is a light breeze.  After breakfast Hudson grabbed a surf board to surf out in front of the hotel.  Andy, Saylor and I all snorkeled.  There is wonderful snorkeling in front of the hotel too.  Love all of the bright blue starfish!  So many fish and from what I have been told sea snacks, but luckily I haven't ran into any of them. 

We went to the Gazebo restaurant for lunch, just in the next village.  It was really good food, but just sitting there we were sweating.  So HOT and HUMID here!   I guess that is why it is so lush and jungle like though.  Love the big volcanic mountains that are everywhere with wildflowers covering the island. Everywhere we go we are always greeted with bula! It is always a warm and welcoming feeling.  Hudson said, "We need a lot more bula in Seattle!"  and it is so true!

 After lunch, kids came back to the hotel and Andy and went to this little shack on the water for a massage. Great price of $30 for 60 minutes and overlooking the beautiful ocean. It was a great massage, but I was done a few minutes before Andy and that is when I saw them use the same big bucket of lotion for everyone.  Yep, just put their hands in there to pull some out over and over again.  Totally grossed me out! Off to the hotel for an immediate shower!



  I am sitting on the veranda and tonight I got four Fijian gentlemen who came by and serenaded me.  Such a treat!  It has been a completely relaxing, island vibe kind of day.

The kids and I went to see the fire walkers.  They come from another island where they train and live which is where it originated.  They say they cannot drink coconut milk the day of else they will burn.

A final dinner out for the Coral Coast and to bed.  We head to some outer islands tomorrow.
