BULA!!

hello all from fijiiiii!!!
we have only been here two days and already we have done soooo much!!! from the moment we arrived we were off to a local port and pizzeria. BEST PIZZA EVER!! we then all went to the sheriton hotel and had drinks while a live band played. we couldnt believe how tired we were and yet still didnt go to bed until midnight!! yesterday we took a day trip to Bounty island (where celebrity love island was filmed!!) it was amaaaazing!! we kyaked around the island and just layed around in the shallows alll day!! (natalie and helen i advise that you go there and stay for at least a night!!)
then today has been our first day volunteering, we arent at the orphanage where we thought we would be as it turns out they have quite a few volunteers and not so many orphans (which i guess is a good thing!!) so we spent the morning at nadi christian primary school with me and amie teaching a class of year 1 and 2! they were a handfull (understatement!) but ALOT of fun! they call us miss amie and miss vikki or madaaaam!! as we left they were sat around us (and on top of us) doing our hair, they refused to go back to class. turns out they havent had a teacher for months and the whole school is seriously lacking staff with about 3 or 4 perminant staff for the whole school whos ages range from 3/4 to 16. this afternoon we may be going to the handicap school so that we can try both and decide where we want to stay. will update again soon
love to everyone xxxxxxxxxxx
