Well, now that I am back , and have access to my normal internet connection I am finally able to post some pics! I will start with day 1 & 2, which was our arrival, followed by the fabulous sunset cruise that Alan & Jenny arranged for all the guests the night before their wedding day.
I will be blogging more over the next week so be sure to pop in and visit - and feel free to comment!
DAY 1
The fantastic view from the seaplane....yes I did take some pics even though I was feeling rather beat after the 11 hour flight
and the Kanuhura resort - stunning
how could anyone possibly not like the look of that approach...
a welcoming smile from Jen, the lovely bride-to-be, with Alan lurking in the background!
was going to say something witty about the next one...but have brain freeze. So anyway, some palm trees - I'm easily impressed!
DAY 2 - the sunset cruise
After spending the morning chilling out on the beach I took my camera along to Alan & Jens who arranged this lovely surprise for all their guests. I thought it was a good opportunity to give my equipment a test run , which was a good idea really, since my lenses steamed up for the first half an hour because of the heat!
At the villa for some drinks before the cruise
on the way to the boat, check out that beautiful warm light
getting comfy..
and away we go!
the highlight of the trip was dolphin spotting - and some got rather excited!
and here are the dolphins - unfortunately they were not in the mood for jumping...
the sunset
as part of the cruise we were able to enjoy some traditional entertainment, and boy , were they into it!
all lurrrved up!
and from the the top deck - the bride and groom's dads discussing the pre-nup (not!)
and another which is my favorite...I love the sense of peace and space
Overall it was a great evening and I was really happy to be part of it and meet everyone properly before the big day.
I will leave you with a a pic that I took at the beach that evening - using torchlight as the lighting. There were loads of these little blighters running around at night - I mean loads. We came out of our villa and swept the torch across the beach and I had a bit of an "arachnophobia" moment. But it didn't put me off enough not to take any pics...so here it is - a crab. Check out that little face , it looks quite strange, doesn't it...and the shadow is more scary than the real thing!
Will be blogging lots more in the next few days so please pop back for another visit!
