At the ferry terminal about to begin our journey to Nikoi.
On the ferry. . . yeah Crew's eating already.
The ferry, a very nice safe boat. (more to come about that)
Nikoi Island from our little rickety old boat. . . I can't believe we don't have any pictures of the second boat we went on. (On second thought maybe Jer had alternative motives . . . if his mom saw the danger he had put her favorite, most handsome grandson in I don't think she'd be very happy ;) In all seriousness I really thought we were going to capsize, I was clutching on to Crew imagining, NO, waiting for the worst. Of course everything would be fine since we all had life-jackets on . . . right life-jackets??? Oh you mean the ones LOCKED in the cabinet BEHIND all the luggage! Yeah those made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Although the waves don't look very big, water was sloshing up over the sides and running across the bottom of the boat. The boat would go up the swell and fall back down giving your stomach the sickening kind of butterflies, like you're about to lose your last meal. Jer nearly fell overboard taking these pictures. But it was all part of the experience and one we certainly won't forget :)
Just arrived and we're already getting pampered. First fresh pineapple jucie at the bar then our faboulous first meal. (I can't remember what we had but trust me it was good.)
This was one of the dinning rooms. It was so relaxing. Sand floors, beautiful view, ocean waves. . . ahhh amazing food! Eating is just so much better when you get to wiggle your toes in the soft sand. (It was pretty hot for the little tyke, he was in a diaper 98% of the time and in a speedo the other 2% the girls were going wild)
Our own private little hut #14.
Downstairs lounge area
Our favorite tanning spot. We could put Crew down for his nap upstairs and still enjoy the beach and the sun.
Our bed complete with moszzy net. . . so romantic
A breath-taking view from the comfort of our bed. You may have noticed there are no closed off walls it was completely open to the fresh sea breeze.
The workmanship was so detailed it was stunning to look up at the ceiling and see the beautiful intricite design. Apparantly they make the huts using mostly driftwood from the island. It was just so peaceful and relaxing like becoming one with nature. . . I know sounds crazy but there's just no other way to describe it.

A very picturesque sunset.
