Boat Trip
This is a top pick! ... are a lot of Indian people living in Fiji also, and they are 4th generation, so are Fijians. The shops sell Fiji stuff and Indian stuff. Also. Interesting fact. The international date line actually runs through Taveuni, even though all the Fijian ...
Bus boat bus,.... end of the road
... filled with taxi's. They don't get too many rides I guess and a load of people from a boat is a welcome change. In all of Fiji, except Nadi, I have never been harassed. Never did anyone overcharge me or try to make money of me in a nasty way. So here no ...
Bula from Fiji
... very good restaurants. Everything is cheaper here than in Tonga, which has surprised us as we thought Tonga was pretty cheap. A local Fiji Bitter costs ₤0.64 (₤0.48 at happy hour!) and is welcomed in a glass out of the fridge to watch the ...
Yet another Bus, to Savusavu
... inspire me too much and thus I left the next day again. On my way to Savusavu on yet another bus. Savusavu apparently is "the" place to land your yacht in Fiji. After a couple of hours on the bus one a PAVED road I found that indeed, there where quite a ...
Taveuni
Hallo! Also die Woche auf Taveuni war toll... die Faehre dahin zwar ziemlich witzig, so ein 20 Jahre altes RoRo-Schiff, aber mit einem deutschem Kompass... da kann nichts schiefgehen... die Fahrt dauert so 18 h und weil keine regulaere Kabine frei war, ...
One day in the village
... think of was the Dalai Lama as a comparison. So friendly and not judgmental at all. He was telling me about the problems in Fiji, the religious and racial problems yet bared no resentment whatsoever. I'm not quite sure what it was, but he really got to ...
Curries and Kava
... . One night, when some locals came to our boat, I drank too much and ended up dancing with more than half of Savusavu at the Sportsman´s Club, which is 1 of 2 nightclubs here. I made lots of friends that night apparently, because the next day ...
Castaways.
So we arrive at our camp for the next 10 weeks, and this is what we saw. Sandy beaches and coconut palms fill the shoreline with a decked area for those who wish to sleep beneath the stars. We are all staying in Bure's, the local Fijian ...
Vanua Levu Sunrise
... of a worrier when events are not in my direct control, so though I should have slept easy, I did not. The boat arrived into Savusavu at sunrise and I watched the light grow in front of me as I waited for the guesthouse to open and let me in. It ...
To Taveuni, and Some Time Travel
... will prove to be a good move, as I will have air circulation and a mosquito net all rolled into one. after Savusavu, I really want a cool sleeping space. Once Semi had shown me around I went into the village to enquire about dive trips. ...
expedition medicine and avoiding disasters
... excited and started hurdling around camp. We decided to vacate and go and enjoy a much earned rest in the nearby town, Savusavu. We camped down for a couple of days as the largest hurricane in Fijian history had its epicentre through our ...
Riding and Island Time
... in anything that was provided for me. I had been aware that I would have to ride bareback if I rode in remote Fiji. In the afternoon, I revisited the timeline and got caught in a rainstorm, a torrential rainstorm, with a German guy, Sacha, who ...
Taveuni Diving
... to do while I am here. My wish was granted immediately (I had expected to do that dive on a later date) but my first dive in Fiji was to be the GWW. Two new things to expect then - coral tunnels and 30m depth, Narcosis territory. I was more ...
Diving
Well this is what sold us the reason for heading to Fiji to become expedition medics, the opportunity to dive almost everyday for 2 months in pristine conditions. We were both divers before we arrived in Fiji, although neither of us had dived for some ...
The Village
Although the beach, sun, diving and expedition were amazing, the main prize for our time in Fiji has to go the people we met there. It is indeed true that you understand and enjoy a culture so much more when you become a part of it, and we were ...
Work begins!
... . We opted for the plane, although when we saw the size of it there were a few second thoughts! We landed safely in Savusavu, much to our delight, and were met my Debs and Karen the two scientists who have been working out in Fiji for the past year. ...
Gold for the price of silver
... houses to wave at the bus. It's nice to see that. Kids at home would probably just throw stones. Our arrival in SavuSavu was somewhat marred by the greeting we received at the guest house we'd booked into. We were clearly interrupting their family ...
Ferries, Fiji Time...
... , and that was the only place in Australia that I met Aussies who were rude to non-Australians. I took the 4pm bus to Savusavu with Wayne, a friend of Elaine's who happened to be visiting this afternoon, and was house-sitting in Savusavu, and waited in ...
Resupplying in the rain
... is very prominent in the sky until it appears in the Northern hemisphere in a couple of months. Pulled into Savu Savu, Fiji in the early morning of the 25th. A well sheltered and very calm bay, with a small town and lush, ...
What everyone imagines Fiji is like........
Spent an amazing week at Savusavu, the 2nd Island of Fiji. We rented a house about 50m from Cousteau Resort which is world famous for its diving and focus on the environment. Walk across the road and we had our own private beach. Spent all day ...
Views across Savusavu Bay
... you can see from the photo (actually taken whilst lying in bed). Compared to the small towns and villages in Taveuni, Savusavu was a full on metropolis. Several marinas for the yachties, supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants bars etc, quite a shock to the ...
Wochenendtrip nach Savusavu
Mit dem Bus ging es über die Hügel von Vanua Levu nach Savusavu, ein mehr touristischer Ort, vorallem für Yachtbesitzer und Taucher. Dort blieben wir bis einschließlich Montag, da war nämlich Feiertag, Fiji-Day. Es hat leider die meiste Zeit geregnet ...
1 week left
Not much more to report unfortunately. It's been a count down of days for the past three weeks and now it's to the lucky number of 7. Seems amazing really that it's finally wrapping up. It's been a long summer and this "season" if you can call it that, ...
A postcard? No, how about something permanent.
... until it is not seeping blood any longer (due to the real possibility of sharks!) Bottom line? I have a permanent reminder of Taveuni and of Fiji. Mum, Dad, et al do not be worried in the least! I am laughing my butt off as this is such a "me" thing ...
Suilvan, Budget Lodge, and delicious coconut rolls
... wearing a shirt with sleeves and thinking how happy Fijians would be if they were less conservative in such sweltering heat. We arrived in Savusavu on Venua Levu at about 6 am. We left Suva on the Suilvan, Mike and I, after spending 2 nights in Lautoka ...
Humidity and Sunshine
... hike or do anything fun it really got to me on Thursday. I was bummed and then mad at myself for being bummed because I was in Fiji! But this stupid cut on my wrist has been quite the set back. I read 2 of my 3 remaining books...and have been bored ...
