Fiji withdrawal. I miss stuffing my backpack with tons of clothes and junk food. Waking up to coconut and banana trees. I'll be back Viti Levu! #fiji #withdrawl #followme2fiji #adventure

Follow Me 2 Fiji - Part 16

Kila Eco Park here we go! Conquering fears and ziplining! Since I've been here in Fiji I've wanted to go zip lining and sky diving! Well it was either one or the other. I've decided to save $500 FJD and go skydiving home in MN. It's cheaper, but in Fiji there is a beautiful view. >:( Bummer. I enjoyed jumping off a 50m pole, or the "LEAP OF FAITH". Swinging on the giant swing of death. Climbing first on the ropes course. AND taking off on the zip line. Best way to end my week in Fiji.

Follow Me 2 Fiji - Part 15

Study Break week @ Castway Island, Wailoaloa Resort, Nadi, Port Denaru and Manta Ray Island. So much to do so little time. Kidding, I had plenty of time to travel and finish island hopping. This experience was more than beautiful and breath-taking. Worth every penny! I would say that seeing the manta rays were a once in a life time experience and they were REAL. Like bigger than I imagined them. It's def not a Finding Nemo moment. Hahaha.

I'll be home in a couple of days. I've had my super highs and lows in Fiji. It's been a blessing ever day waking up to coconut trees, banana trees and a wonderful sunrise. I can't believe it's coming to an end so soon. #followme2fiji #countdowntomn #home

A very intense high ropes course at the Kila Eco Park. Sweating chicken balls all day today. Good thing I've been hitting the gym. 💪#heights #adventureisoutthere #ziplining #followme2fiji #countdowntomn

It took me a while to hold a hermit crab. They pinch and they won't let go sometimes. Ick. His name is Phil. And he has a big family like me! 🐚🐚🙆 #followme2fiji #countdowntomn #mantarayisland #yasawaisland #hermitcrab #justkeepswimming

A glimpse of the videos of the manta rays. They're gorgeous, elegant, and fast swimming creatures. I cannot believe I got to swim with it. Let alone be 3 feet away from it. Trust me, it's breathtaking. 🐠🐟 #mantaray #fiji #followme2fiji #countdowntomn #justkeepswimming #trench #yasawaisland #mantarayisland #lifetimeexperience
