... wasn't the best. One day we hired a moped which broke down so we wasted a few hours trying to sort that out. I think Fiji is the sort of place where you really want good weather and we'd have been lucky to have broken the 25 degree barrier! However, ...

... was very worth it, a tiny plane and just us flying over the islands. Beautiful view. Last night and day was spent in Nadi which was a rather small and uninteresting town.  Just a lot of shops full of rather persistent and hard to say no to ...
