Beachchombers Island Fiji

What can I possibly begin to say about beachchomber island, well it certainly lived up to its name as the party island! It is only about the size of two football fields with a drinking/eating hut, a bathroom/shower hut, a rec hut and a giant cabin where they stuff 200 drunk collage kids into. As this was our last island before heading back to the states we were exhausted and just ready to relax. Was not going to happen here on party central when it was always FIJI TIME! So lets get into our accommodations... there is this wide open hut with probably close to 100 bunk beds inside, thank god we were up on the second level where there were only about 10 bunk beds, it was loud and oh so hot and sticky. As soon as we got there it was happy hour where we came to find that you were able to buy beer towers at only 25$, these things were huge! We came to sit next to what seemed seasoned vets of these towers, one guy fell off the bench, it was probably 11AM. After soaking in the party scene we headed to the beach to tan the entire day long, then it was dinner time. Always wary of the food from our first island we found that it was a buffet and pretty damn good! After dinner everyone went back to shower and to get ready to party! The bathroom was like a freshman year dorm...disgusting! All I wanted to do was brush my teeth and two people were getting it on in the girls section in the shower, and they weren't wearing shoes EW. I am surprised I didn't die from some water born disease because who knows where it comes from! We headed out to the bar and had some drinks met some really fun guys, shared a beer tower and played come cards before heading to bed, couldn't believe that it was our second to last night in Fiji! The next morning we woke up had breakfast, people were already on their second beer tower, pretty sure they never went to bed, one girl passed out at the table while smoking a cigarette, classy British girl. We then explored the island a little more, went on the most hilarious banana boat ride ever just the three of us girls, our boat driver tried so hard to fling us off, didn't work we were just too strong! We snorkeled around a little and got lunch and tanned, pretty much living the dream as always. The night came around again and it was so sad our last night out island hopping, but we were so ready to get back and to take a real shower and eat Panera bagels and drink Dunkin Doughnuts coffee, I was craving it so bad! It was another wild night on the island and people were extra wild, we met up with our friends from the night before shared stories and our plans for the future! me and Steph decided to head in a little early because we were so tired and Steph had a little bit of a stomach ache, little did we know it was just the beginning of our night...The other Steph stayed out talking with a boy, heard and felt her come back later that night...as she climbed into the bunk above me spilling the entire beaches worth of sand all over my face and pillow... ver try and sleep covered in sand when you weren't laying on the beach? yea it doesn't happen! The other Steph s stomach was hurting bad and she kept getting up to go to the bathroom ended up cutting her toe as she was jumping over someone else's puke on the way back to the cabin, we freaked out for a little thinking she might die from gang green, but decided to just try and fall asleep anyway. As imagined we were up bright an early, but no one else was...hmm wonder why, we headed straight for the beach and realized the craziest thing as we waded in the crystal clear turquoise water that at that exact same time on the exact same day half way across the world we would be home.... such a wild feeling and with that we headed to the cabin packed up and said see ya never to the wild crazy island on our way back to Nadi!
