Took the Yasawa flyer to Nanuya Lai Lai to the Sunrise Resort. It was a gorgeous day, the flyer cruises at 23-knots and is a sleek looking craft. We stopped at a number of the island along the way to drop off and pick up people staying at other island resorts. The Sunrise is one of the more "basic" of the resorts. We had fried rice for lunch (included in resort cost), but bring your own water or buy a bottled water ($3/1.5 litters) or buy soft drinks for about $1.50 each.

We hiked across the island to the famous "Blue Lagoon", the one used as the setting for the movie of the same name. Unfortunately there was a huge cruise boat moared, they own half the lagoon, and it kinda spoiled any semblence of relating the movie to this setting. The Lagoon is still beautiful. We did some snorkeling.

At night our Fiji host welcomed us and asked each of us to share what country we were from, how long we were traveling for and our best and our worst travel experiences to date. We, of course, were able to share our lost luggage experience. Others we like, "we crashed the car we rented 10-minutes after we bought insurance for it!".

Our buree was right on the edge of the beach and we had a strong breeze blowing through it the whole night that we were quite thankful for. The buree had no fan it would have been very hot without it. The views right from our window were truly goreous! Had a beautiful sunrise!
