  Tuesday 17th of October 2017 and my alarm goes off at 5 o'clock. And it looks to be a gorgeous day here on our Pacific island. The only thing missing is a tea kettle in my room. Twat Man just woke up I get my bird watching equipment and today I bring the bird song player with me. It doesn’t take long before the Silvereye is showing up. I saw the Vanikoro flycatcher, actually, I saw several of them coming after me when I played the bird song. I cannot say that I was surprised when I ran in to a Red-vented Bulbul. Passing the reception and there was a Fiji Woodswallow sitting on the wire looking for insects to eat. It was fun to see the Fiji Woodswallow dive down from the wire and to return with a snack in the bill. Reminded me about breakfast and I went to the restaurant.  Silvereye or Wax-eye

There is a couple moving in to my tent when the boat is coming, so I will move to a room. I brought my stuff to the reception on my way to the dive shop. Just 2 plastic bags and my back  pack. They will keep it for me until I'm back from the shark adventure and I will move in to my new room where I will stay for a few hours.
I went down to the dive shop, I signed the paper they have there and I got a pair of fins and we were soon on our way to the reef. The weather was much better today and it was not so choppy getting to the “shark” reef. We arrived and I was in the water 2 minutes later swimming around, no sign of any sharks around the reef. This was not what I had expected.  Barefoot Kuata Island Resort dive shop

       I was soon spotting 2 sharks and when I came over the edge of the reef I looked down and there  were at least 4 or 5 more sharks swimming. Looks to be a good swim today.
We stayed for about one hour before we returned to the resort. I moved in to my new room and now it was just to wait for the departure around 3 thirty in the afternoon. We had lunch and time passed pretty quickly. I had expected to go back with the same boat we had  arrived with, Awesome Adventures Fiji's Yasawa Flyer. But we were picked up by South Sea Cruises boat that will take us to Denarau marina about 2 hours away.
We got on board the small boat on the beach and we had to wait outside for 10 minutes or so before the South Sea Cruises boat arrived. I was happy when I stepped on board, now I look forward to a hot shower and AC.  Time to leave Barefoot Kuata Island

 Finally, at Denarau marina
We arrived to Denarau marina about 90 minutes after we left Barefoot Kuata Island. Good, I went to look for a taxi and I was soon on my way to The Westin. I will be back at Denarau marina tomorrow. I spoke with a guy and they have boats for rent in the marina. I really want to go check out the mangroves around the marina. When we left I spotted a white-faced Heron so there might be some interesting birds in the mangroves. Today is my day off, the first day since I left home. So I will look for some birds here on Denarau. And of course, the alarm will go off at 5 o'clock. Click HERE to find out if I make it to the mangroves at the Denarau marina

E ni Svenskar och inte förstår Engelska så ska ni skämmas. J och Björn, med det menar jag inte att alla mina stavfel ska ältas varje gång vi träffas.
Well, the flag of Skåne, just a BONUS flag.
