Mango Bay

After a 2 hour bus ride, we finally made it to Mango Bay. The girls had to be split up into two dorms, so me, Katie, and Alex were in one and the rest were in another. When we first got there, there was a random guy in our dorm, but we go that situation fixed. The first night at Mango Bay we had dinner and then we watched Polynesian dancers.

The first full day at Mango Bay was just a chill day. Everyone edited photos, chatted, and just spent time together. Not much went on, but that day Ula arrived and we also had our first group critique that night. The second day we adventured around on a different island. The boat ride was calming and so much fun, we went ‘fishing’ which was a bit of a fail, but it was still fun. When we arrived at the village we went to the school and all the children sang for us.

They were all so sweet and I wish i could have gotten the chance to know get to know them better. The group split up and explored the village. I went into some random person’s house and talked to the women there who were weaving mats.

They were all so sweet but did not speak any bit of English. After the village we all got back onto the boats and went to the lovely little beach and just relaxed for a few hours. Then we went back to Mango Bay and had dinner and some free time.
