First night in Fiji!

First night in Fiji!

BULLA!!!!!! I am in Fiji! Bulla means “hello” here and they say it sooo much! Everyone you pass says hello to you, it has a very friendly atmosphere. Also, when you arrive at the airport there is a live band playing tropical music and they put a necklace made of sea shells around your neck and introduce you to the term “Bulla” I can’t say it is gorgeous yet because I have spent the last five hours in the airport waiting to get to my resort so I haven’t really seen anything. It took me so long to get to my resort because I did not book a transfer ahead of time because every other trip I have been on I have been able to book a transfer to where I am staying really easily. Well turns out I got a hotel that is 110 KM away from the airport. I read it as 10 on accident when I paid for my room a couple weeks ago. To get a cab here would have been $200 which I was not about to pay. After finding that out a very nice worker told me he found a coach for me that would be going to the place I am staying for only $35. He said I missed the 5:55 barely and would have to wait for the 6:55 coach. I say ok and then go sit down and finish a couple Sodoku puzzles. Then at 7:00 he comes back and tells me the coach is back and I can put my luggage in the trailer. I was thinking we were leaving at 6:55; nope that is when he got back from his other trip. So I had to wait until everyone got off of their flight and got onto the coach, we left at 7:40.
It then took an hour and a half to get to the first resort where he was dropping everyone off and another hour on top of that to get to my place. Ouewrgoiuhgoerihgirhgerhigdr. I booked a nice hotel tonight because I wanted to not be by myself in a creepy area and I was really excited about spending my time in a hotel for once. Since starting again tomorrow I start up the sharing a room thing. Getting here at 10:35 PM (and having to leave at 7:30 AM tomorrow...) really makes it pointless to have even stayed here.
However, it is a really nice place!!! I have a HUUUGGE bed and a big bathroom all to myself as well. There are also pink flowers on my towels, and the towels are arranged really pretty. Get this, upon check in I got complementary water…and it was Fiji Water! I am drinking Fiji water, in Fiji! I love it!
Then in the fridge you get a huge complimentary platter of fresh fruits for you to eat. This is good, because I haven’t eaten today at all and I do not think there is a place for me to go eat dinner at tonight. I am literally twenty feet from the ocean (I can hear it in my room) however it is dark out, and so going near the beach kind of freaks me out lol. The stars are absolutely amazing though. I attempted to take a picture of them so you could see, however all that came out was a completely black picture!
I want to go look around and see what is around but I am a woos and am scared to walk alone since I am walking outside and it is kind of dark. There is a lighted path to the rooms, but still…I am just holding myself hostage in my room for the night. There isn’t anything to do in my room, I do not have a TV and do not have internet access.
I suppose that is good anyways since I have to be up at 6:45 in the morning to get breakfast and then check out of my hotel. I am considering waking up to see the sunrise over the water however I am not even sure if the sun rises, or sets over the water. Since I do not have internet access I can not look it up either. It is 11:00 PM Fiji time, but only 9:00 PM Gold Coast time and so I am not ready for bed but I am going to try to force myself to go to bed early.
I will write more soon! Tomorrow I meet up with Sam at the place where I will be staying for the rest of my time in Fiji. Night!
Love you!
P.S. I just realized I have no clue how I am going to brush my teeth tonight! :/
