We were the third stop for the boat so we weren't on there very long, we decided to stay from two nights here at Waya Lai Lai. We had to hop off our boat and hop on to the island little boat that then taxied us to our island, where we hopped off into the water and were greeted by the staff BULA! Which is hello and welcome! We were introduced to the entire staff and checked in and taken to our room, at first we were going to be staying in a one roomed house with everyone else, but we lucky got upgraded to our own personal hut!! With a view of the ocean. SCORE! we headed to our fijian bungalow and settled in, they only use electricity at night so it was very dark in our little hut and there was 4 beds crammed in there and a tiny bathroom, which was also pitch black. The only hot water is what the sun has heated up for the day. After unpacking we set out towels in hand to the beach, and the hammocks and of course lunch.
Lets talk about the food for a moment, if you are at all picky in any way shape or form and get hungry often and need a lot of variety and big meals traveling cheap in Fiji is 100% not for you. I have never thanked my mom for forcing me to participate in exotic food of the week more than this adventure in Fiji. The food was good, and the meals were served to you. I can't remember what exactly was served to us for lunch that afternoon, but it was most likely rice and some form of chicken. We ate and learned to listen to people on the boat who have traveled to previous islands before us, apparently way lai lai was not know for its food selection, we now understood why.
After leaving lunch probably hungrier than before we contemplated what we had gotten ourselves into, but then went down to the waters edge and realized why we were here, it was BEAUTIFUL, words can't describe the lushness or the blues of the water and pictures only barely capture its beauty, bad food, confined hot quarters, freezing water, and electricity for 3 hours a day is all worth the view!
