Return to civilization

Ah, the Sofitel Hotel!

We had a normal day at our resort prior to leaving for the mainland of Nadi, Fiji. At 2:30 we took a boat to the floating island about 200 yards off shore. There the daily ferry came to take us on another 3 hour ride. We hung out on the front of the ferry the entire time having fun and even making an Australian friend who told us tons of great places to go to and see. The 3 hour ride flew by and before we knew it, we were graced with the tile floors of the beautiful Sofitel Hotel. 

The hotel was overwhelming with all its electricity, surfaces, and warm water. I jumped in the shower immediately and used all five of the soaps and shampoos available. Oh my god did it feel good. Finally clean and changed, my roomate Aaron and I made our way to the bar for a drink. We met up with a bunch of our friends and ate at one of the hotel restaurants called SALT. As it was located outside and Fiji being Fiji, it began to downpour pretty soon after we ordered. They transfered us to the other restaurant inside and brought our food to us there. After dinner it was around 10 o'clock, so we changed into our togs (aka bathing suits) and went to the outdoor pool. This pool was absolutely enormous. We swam in it for at least an hour and a half and didn't even explore the whole thing. Nicest pool ever.
