Coming Home Fever and Island Mania
So as you can imagine landing in Fiji at night, both mega tired and trying to look normal for customs was a chore. We found the most reasonable place to stay near the beach, and crashed heavily onto our bed. Money is starting to get the better of us, and ...
Bula
Bula! (as they say). I've arrived in hot and sweaty Fiji. I jumped on my shuttle to the hostel and found out what "Fiji Time" is right away. The driver of the shuttle stopped the car and said "I need to go to the supermarket, do you want anything?" We ...

... just seemed to add to the effect. The final flight down gave me a glimpse of some of the lagoons surrounding the coastline of Fiji but if I’m honest everything else kinda looked a bit 'samey’. Seen one green bushy outback, seen em all. We got ...
BULA!
... 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, ...
Island Fever
... neither of us cared. Today is our last day in Fiji and we head for the airport tonight. We took a public "express" bus back to Nadi (express here means that they don't stop at the side of the road to pick anyone up, but they still stop at every town ...

Nadi - Day 288-290
... 09/12/08 Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm flying home tomorrow. Going to be a shock to the system I suspect. Went into Nadi town today to have a look around and buy a few souvenirs. Also took advantage of the cheap internet which is a third of ...

Wellington to Nadi (Fiji) via Auckland - Day 279
... land in the mountains of the south island and live happily ever after. Of course I need to complete my travels plans first :o) Landed in Fiji in the late afternoon. As soon as I exited the plane I was hit by the hot humid air of the tropics once again ...

Fiji Time (Part 4) - The time is up.
... it’s going to make me more worn out due to the little sleep I managed last night. I feel smug though, sitting in Fiji while I know everyone at home is tucking themselves into bed before another night at work. I get wireless signal which is ...
"Who said rugby was a rich mans game...!"
... , so you can imagine the spirit of all the fans afterwards. We made our way out of the stadium in s desperate search for a taxi. Maybe Fiji is similar to Twickenham as trying to catch a taxi afterwards was as easy as catching one on New years eve! Out of ...
FIJI
