Hunter Weekend

 

Earlier in August i managed to escape to the Hunter Valley for a girls weekend. I'd never been before and always wanted to go to check out the wine tours. We stayed at the Crowne which was so serene and beautiful and we indulged on buffet breakfasts each morning - major win!

We went to 4 wine tastings and were educated on how to distinguish between a good wine and those of the cheaper varieties which was pretty interesting. Our last stops were the cheese shop and chocolate shop -yum. All in all it was a great relaxing weekend, it doesn't get any better than indulging on a giant margarita and reading the paper on a sunny Sunday morning.

Fiji Time

I got back from my Fiji holiday a couple of weeks back and i have finally had a chance to upload some images. This is my 2nd time going there and i once again stayed at the Fiji Resort and Spa managed by the Hilton. This resort is absolutely stunning, the people are so friendly, service is excellent, food is delicious, cocktails are mouthwatering and the views are so picturesque. Last time i went to Fiji was for a wedding and this year it was for pure relaxation. I went to the spa at the resort and it was bliss. I received a lime sorbet on my arrival, got a hair treatment, milk nourishing bath and the boy and i got a couples fulls body massage and facial. They give you iced tea when you are finished and the prices at this place are very very reasonable for the service that you receive. I indulged in way too much eating and cocktails, laid by the pool reading and listening to music, went on a day trip to a secluded island, went jet boating and visited other resorts that are located side by side along the beaches coastline. I cannot recommend this place enough and would go back in a heart beat.

Bula! My trip to Paradise

Bula! Last week i had the chance to escape reality and travel to what i can only describe as paradise. I have this trip planned to Fiji for a while now to attend a wedding and it was far more beautiful than i ever had suspected. I stayed at the Fiji resort and spa managed by the hilton and the rooms were impeccable. The service was incredibly friendly and i was greeted possibly every 15 minutes, my room was cleaned and tidied every morning and every night i would come home and my bed was ready for bed with a flower and chocolate to greet me. Buffet breakfast every morning was absolutely delicious (think of anything and everything you could possibly want for breakfast and it would have been there). The few days i was there consisted of too much eating and too many cocktails, as well as snorkelling, fishing, swimming, an incredibly funny experience at the mud baths and a very relaxing massage. My visit to Mala mala island was like a dream, crystal blue water like i have never seen before. With the most delicious food, happy hours, great experiences, stunning views, amazing weather and the friendliest people, I definately am planning to head back there.
