Yesterday was my birthday celebration, and in Fiji, they do it with style! We had a countdown (NZ time), and two younger children made a black forest cake, which was amazing to find in Fiji.
We then all went for a family package massage or facial. Four of us chose the one-hour massage, which was simply divine, especially since I fell asleep during mine while my youngest smiled as she also had a massage alongside me.
We then went shopping in Nadi township, and I was able to pick up a few tapa (material) shirts, except that my beloved wanted what I call an 'ugly' shirt.
After that, we swam in the longest pool in the South Pacific at our Wyndham resort on Denarau Island and had an enjoyable time with a beach ball.Finally, we got ready for our dinner and fire show just in time for my birthday, and that was so great to be able to see the ocean whilst dining with the family.
The staff sang me a happy birthday song, and we had birthday cake, which we then gifted to the rest of the staff. We already had cake at home, and I also received another in-house birthday cake gift and a towel set, which was another treat. Really felt spoiled on my birthday.
The fun didn't stop there as we then got ready for Karaoke. I had my song ready: Michael Jackson's "Rock with You". I was number three on the list and danced to the beat.
My husband then sang one of my favourite songs called "Sosefina" except I keep asking who's Sosefina? (an inside joke :). It was an enjoyable time, and there was much laughter as many guests sang but were (a little?) off-key.
The highlight of the night was that our two youngest decided to sing "Kiss me through the phone", and it brought the house down with their dance moves and antics. It was such a laugh that even the staff were dancing along. It was such a laugh, as they were so loud (and mostly in tune, ha ha), and it was neat that we were buzzing on the way to our rooms and watching the recording.
Gonna miss Fiji as it's our special spot for R&R rest and relaxation, and they never fail to me us feel at home. Lots of families were holidaying here and especially from Australia, although there were a few Kiwis (New Zealanders) too. Vinaka Fiji we will miss you until the next time Lord willing...
