A Day in the Life of a Fijian Chloe

Another exhausting day! Chloe is waking up at 10pm and running around the bungalow like a Possessed Thing until midnight - not ordinarily too hard to cope with but we are exhausted at the end of each day - too much sun, sea and food makes us want to collapse at 9pm.

The reason that Chloe has so much energy is she is having more fun than her little body can handle (as well as a dose of jetlag). She certainly doesn't want to waste any of her time sleeping because her day is way too much fun!

Take today for example...She woke up and went to breakfast with her friends (we went diving), and then spent the morning at the Kids Club where she painted, went on a boat ride, played with toys / the other children, had lunch then a 2 hour nap...we then came back from our morning dive (this morning we saw manta ray and hammerhead shark!) and took her to the pool, which is purpose built for kids....so has a great waterslide (which Chloe loves, being an adrenalin baby), pool toys and loads of kids jumping around. The resort is fairly quiet but the staff children are allowed to use the facilities and it makes it all very familyfied and festive as the little Fijian kids are as cute as they come.


After swimming, she played around on the grass outside our bungalow, sticking her hand down the crab holes, collecting stones and doing other important baby things...we then pop off for a dip in the sea, threw sea sand at Daddy and then had dinner, during which she was serenaded to by four guitarists playing / singing nursery rhymes. She merrily danced along, threw food around and ate a huge portion - and promptly crashed to do it all again tomorrow.

So with all this constant FUNto be had....why sleep?
