Monday, April 17th

Monday morning, we woke up and went for a long walk and managed to get a little turned around and lost. That was my last walk of the trip. Grampie splurged for the all you could eat breakfast buffet and boy, were we lucky- it was so good (and definitely, worth it)! 

After breakfast, we headed to the mud baths again. We sure lucked out and it was pretty much empty. Much better than the billion cruise ship people there. 

Step one. Cover yourself in healing mud from head to toe. They had all these little buckets of mud and you just lathered it on. I got a little extra help from guide. 

Step 2. Let it dry. (And take lots and lots of pictures.)

Step 3. Wash it off. You went into a mud pool and rinsed in muddy water. Then you got out of that one and went and rinsed in a cleaner mud pool.

Step 4. Get a massage and then rinse off in a chlorine pool.

After the mud baths, we came back to our room to find it flooded. It miraculously somehow did not get any of our stuff wet and just weaved around it. I still don't know how that is possible. We hit the jackpot though because they upgraded our rooms to ocean front for the inconvenience. The ocean front rooms were awesome. 

We got all moved and settled and then walked up to the next resort, the Sheraton, and swam in the pool and ate dinner there. We all tried to master selfie taking like Meg, but it didn't so much as work for me.

Sunday, April 16th

We landed in Nadi, Fiji on Sunday morning. Grammie and Grampie picked us up at the airport and we headed back to their little hotel, TokaToka, for a quick regrouping before heading to church.

After having a little walk and changing our clothes we headed to church. I wish I could say I remembered a lot about church, but the jet lag caught up to most of us and church is a bit hazy. I do remember going to the bathroom and all the kids playing in the grassy courtyard during sacrament.

After church, we headed to the mud baths. We had quite the little eventful trip. We were run off the road into a ditch by a tour bus. Luckily, a nice man stopped and helped pushed us out of the ditch. (Although I do think we could have pushed out the van without him.) Once we got to the mud baths, we realized that a cruise ship (like 7 buses full of people) were at the mudbaths. We turned around and headed to the resort, The Westin.

The Westin was awesome. We had nice rooms, great pools. a fun beach, and yummy yummy food. They, also, had the best ice water that we emptied whenever we walked by. We ate delicious dinners and enjoyed watching the sunsets and fire dancers.
