"Still raining! I got picked up from our hotel, got taken to another hotel, where we waited for about an hour and a half "Mana Flyer" local transport boat to the Lake the frustrating access.
Spotty flare-ups were super get mana. A small wooden boat also doesn't seem to be strong ... In fact it was a great piece of s ***. We had a very difficult slaming waves and I had to prepare impact with my legs so you won't get my back impact! Spotty flare-ups were even canoeing 45 minutes to the island of Mana took an hour and a half. Somewhere in the Middle we hit some hard rain and fog and looked for a while as if our captain lost focus. So we were really happy when we finally on the island of Mana-back to dry land!
Beach itself looks pretty despite bad weather. It was a nice clean white sand, coral reefs offshore-protecting the beach from the strong waves.
The lagoon Mana not exactly what we expected. Doesn't look like a hotel advertised venue for sure-looks like a worthy beach. But the staff looks really warm and very friendly though, and their happiness infectious. We all approached the place of gathering, a.k.a. "men", all were greeted with a hearty "Bula!" and "relax, you're on time Fiji now!". Shortly after the briefing, they Sung lagoon Mana song welcome (still in my brain until after flying from lax in a few days).
All meals are included in our collection a buffet. For lunch, we had two bowls looking traditional Fijian. One is made from leaves of taro krimid with some pieces of chicken in there. (Hawaii, my friends were very similar to what Luau chicken). We also had an Indian cassava roots and some mild d/soup. Applied one we scratched our heads weird about pizza. It's almost like ramen noodles cooked pizza sauce on it. I didn't care, but Frank seems kind of like it. Mama there keep saying "some more!" to every meal, which was really sweet. Won't go hungry here for sure.
After lunch, they took us to dive because only a small boat capsized in the last coral reefs. While anchored boat, come to snorkel around the boat. Unfortunately not snorkel masks (with no fins) very good, and after trying 4 pairs leaked on me, gave up and remained in the boat. Frank snorkilid some thing and had a good time. One of the other guests (as in Germany) missed the boat wekaiakid to meet us for diving. Unfortunately had a kayak diverted and flooded with water and sank mainly upon reaching our boat! After some diving empty kayak water and placed it in because of a boat and headed back to the beach.
It was getting dark and the wind started to pick up some heavy rains. Disabled staff quickly in some additional parts of wood to shield on one side of the men could eat dinner without getting soaked. After dinner, we had a kava ceremony. Kava invented herbal traditional drunk in ceremonies, using "honor visitors, unites the participants and their identity." Check this link for more information. Looks like water tastes like muddy, and leaves the mouth and tongue a bit numb for the first time. Try our host really extenuating kava us so don't see really no numb. I've got little sleep! It's an interesting certainly glad we got to try it out.
We will not say much about the facilities were very basic only cold distilled water shower, room lacks any fan (forget AC!), Where holes screens so we got a great deal of mosquito bites that night. We were happy to stay one night only!
The weather was much better the next morning. We hung on the beach, snorkilid a little, then got "flyer Mana" President's Club. The people there were really super nice and making us part of their family and feel at home. But I felt the experience was closer to stay ' with ' from staying in a hotel, a village near houses that construction of the Fijian similar (or worse) lagoon mana. So it would be a great place for people really searching for this kind of experience. (Swedish girl we met was there one month yet!) As for me, I was delighted that I [...] "
