Hong Kong and Fiji

First of all I have to apologise for not updating this for ages, I've just been having so much fun and doing so much. But here I am now so we'll see how far I get. Hong Kong seems a very long time ago but here goes.
After leaving the Wendy house Bangkok for the very last time we headed to the airport after staying up all night, watching die hard 4 and keeping the receptionist awake all night. Upon reaching Hong Kong we settled into our accommodation, run by some big British lads at the top of this huge tower block. We slept the morning after our all-nighter and woke to the streets being flooded with locals all marching down to Victoria harbour to watch the fireworks. The celebration was ten years since the handover of Hong Kong from the brits back to China. The fireworks were pretty awesome and we spent that night in a few bars and ate some yummy Cantonese food. It was great to feel part of the celebrations and funny to hear the ooos and ahhhhs from the Chinese every time a big firework went up. The next day we had our first journey on the legendary Star Ferry across the harbour and took the cable car up the peak, even though we couldn't really find the cable car so ended up climbing half way up the mountain. Got some quality views of the territory from up there. Also found dads old apartment up on a very classy street with great views out over the sea. We then went to buy tripods for our cameras, i don't think we've used them since! We spent that day looking around Hong Kong island, checking out all the shops before heading over to get a pint of actual ale from a random tavern that took ages to find. That night we trekked up the peak again to get a view of the harbour by night and went to an Irish pub for overpriced drinks. Last of all we visited one of the best Cantonese restaurants in the city and ate the house speciality - roasted goose. We also drank lots of jasmine tea. The next day we arose late and took afternoon tea at the Peninsula, which was incredible - all little cakes and pastries and proper English tea. Me and pie nearly exploded with excitement at the sight of tea AND cakes. Chris had a Hot dog and a milkshake - at the Peninsula for heavens sake. With bellies full of awesomeness we headed over to Causeway bay to shop and play on Wiis, much to the annoyance of the shop owners. Chris bought a really cheap TV for the camper van. In the evening we visited Temple street night market and ate noodles before frequenting the Irish bar and heading back to the room. The next day we ate Dim Sum, which was amazingly cool, so many flavours, especially liked the pork buns - savage. after Dim Sum we dossed about a bit before heading to the airport.
we spent the next day travelling and did land in Australia but never legally entered the country, just Brisbane airport.
Fiji started off badly, we had to spend a night in Nadi, trying to book our island resort with the most intolerable man I've ever met, which was horrible. Completely different to the rest of Fiji as we were about to discover. Ran about frantically trying to buy a phone card to check this guys prices and ended up getting a mobile top up card!
The next day we scampered to the port to get out to the islands. Our grumpiness and disappointment quickly melted away as we saw tropical paradise emerge before our eyes. Our island was Waya, which was heaven on earth. We ate great food cooked by a very friendly Fijian lady called Mary who became our mother for the three days we were with her - helping her set the table and collect wood for the huge bonfires we made every night. One night we went to a traditional Kava ceremony and danced and ate a big meal that had been cooked traditionally, underground with hot rocks. We spent our days lying on the beach or in the hammock. Occasionally saying "Bula!" to the locals (means good health/welcome/anything) they say it all the time! Lay in the sea, collected coral and just generally did nothing at all. Did watch a local rugby match which was enjoyable. Waya was so quiet, we never shared with more that ten guests and had the whole beach to ourselves.
Our next island was Bounty which was the set of celebrity love island - if anyone watched that, i know i did. The pool is now in front of the bar at the resort. Bounty was pretty good, but much busier and less pretty. We did met some nice Danish girls and had all you can eat buffets - which i very much appreciated. Boated back to the mainland and escaped to the airport, already missing the chilled out islands.
