Fiji Time (Part 2) - Burnt but Buzzing at Bedarra
This is a top pick! ... world as some of the people we are meeting barely have left their own country but for a few weeks here and there to Fiji or Bali for a holiday. Ron and Sandra were fantastic fun and showed that emigration can really turn out for the best for some people ...
Bula! from Fiji
This is a top pick! ... up. Anyway, the Beachouse is cool and chilled, although it is opposite a lovely palm fringe beach, behind it is the Fiji version of the M11. Looking forward to some Island life now. PS - The Fijians are incredibly musically talented, and seem ...
Stranded on Robinson Crusoe Island in Fiji
This is a top pick! ... so nice and quiet and perfect for catching up on my writing! After leaving Las Vegas, we caught a 10 hour flight to Fiji and we crossed the international date line so we forever lost Sunday October 25th! Since we are not flying back in that ...
The Reef Off Drawaqa Island
This is a top pick! ... of its tailfin the shark suddenly vanished into the depths. We'd been snorkeling the outer edge of the reef off Drawaqa Island, Fiji. With pounding hearts we started for shore. After about ten metres I said to myself "dammit" and pointed back to the ...
Just a hello to you all
This is a top pick! Hello all Not much happening here that you don't already know about. Just having fun in the sun. We're going off to another island called Oarsman's in a bit, just for a change of scene. Plus our place is slowly filling up with backpackers, so I need ...
Fiji
This is a top pick! ... Chaing Mai and could confirm to Nick that I was not a complete pussy and that trekking was indeed incredibly hard!!! Fiji is generally not renowned for it's cuisine, but the chef's at our place are amazing (which was one ...
Bula Scootering
... faces. We rented a couple of small scooters from Aqua Safari, the people we went diving with, and took off into town first, Sigatoka, to see if I could find a wristwatch band. No luck there. My band is about broken so I can only have ...
It gets more primitive!
Hmmm things are definately becoming more primitive as we head away from the mainland - this island has no electricity except in kitchen so its torches or candlenight at night, the toilets don't have doors that shut and the showers are just a tap! Plus ...
The Outrigger on the Lagoon
This is what the hotel looks like in the daylight. Beautiful gardens and pool. Very close to the beach (our room looks out onto it). Comfortable and clean room as you would expect from a five star hotel. However, it is a bit pricey (as you ...
Next stop - Kuata
We arrived on the beach by our resort met by a singing welcoming band which was cool. Island bigger than South Sea and the people running it were really friendly. Met up with the girls we were on SSI with - its so hot here so we spent day lazing in a ...
Ruta Hubby (Means Chief)
... with fertile land, now it is too sandy to hold any crops. Sigatoka River Cruise consists of a ride up the river on a jet boat then stopping at a village where you see the kava ceremony, ...
Camping on the beach & finally KAVA!!!
... roots of a plant, they boil, then dry then pound them into powder. It's sold in markets and used in a traditional Fiji celebration type ceremany. I think it's impossible to leave Fiji without ending up in at least a small ceremony. The ritual side ...
Fiji
Bula! Fiji was amazing! For all of you who love long walks on the beach, this is the place to be. After 22 hours of grueling travel it was nice to relax on the beach and adjust to the huge time change-17 hours ahead of EST (we think). We stayed in a ...
Photos to come later
... . We are on a very short time limit on the internet here so I will probably NOT be able to upload any photos while in Fiji as I don't care to spend the money for the upload plus it is quite a slow upload. I will come back and put in the photos ...
South Sea Island
Started our Island hopping today - only 30 mins out to sea and we were dropped off onto a tiny island. Smaller than a football pitch! You can walk around the beach in about 3 mins (well, 15 mins if Lily is examining every single shell on the way!) and ...
South Sea Island, Yasawa Group
Well after a very early start to the port, we hopped on a cruiser and headed off for our fist island on the cruise - South Sea Island. The island was tiny - you could walk round the whole thing in 2 mins! Spent 2 nights here. First night we stayed up til ...
Manta Ray Island
Just when you think it can't get any better the boat drops us off at the bluest sea I've ever seen. The snorkelling here is incredible! You can see exactly where all the corals are because the sea is just so clear. Spent most of our time out watching the ...
River trip to a Fijian Village
This day turned out much better than we could ever have hoped for. The boat ride up the river negotiating rapids every now and again was fun with stunning scenery, which improved the further inland we went. The village was extremely interesting (if ...
Oarsmans Bay
Spent 2 days here... despite it being the most expensive of our stops because it was such a beautiful place and we met a lovely bunch of people. There were only 6 of us in the dorm which meant we all made friends quickly and lunch was set out round big ...
So far in Fiji
... met the locals and had a bowl of KAVA with the chief. Up early again haven't manage to sleep by 7 o'clock yet since arriving in Fiji, never mind when the weather is as nice as what it is here you don't mind having a few extra hours in it. Today I ...
Levuka and Caqelai
Levuka was a bit dull really, nice colonial buildings but the place smelled of old oily fish... not the nicest smell I can tell you! Went to Cequlai instead, a stunning little white sand island about 20 mins from Levuka. I spent four days here and it ...
Almost Home
... Luckily for us, Tara (the REAL Priceline Negotiator ((not William Shatner)) found us an amazing deal at the Outrigger here in Fiji. The five-star resort was an amazing end to our trip full of hostel stays with creepy old European men and drunken 18 ...
Botaira Bay
This was definately the cutest of the places we stayed. We were the only 2 people to disembark at Botaira, which meant our own private 'welcome' song on a floating platform. 4 Fijians serenading us with guitars... very romantic - apart from the 100 or so ...
Kava with a Village Chief & his tribe!
... life long friends here and the entertainment here was amazing. I mean fire dancing, fire eating, tug of war, hermit crab races, snorkeling, sleeping in hammocks, we even drank the bar dry of booze! A fantastic island and a great way to end my time in ...
Underwater Beverly Hills
... tension apparently but I never saw or felt any in the two weeks I was there. Anyway! I quickly realised that travelling alone in Fiji is never travelling alone! I heard that song "oh baby baby it's a wide world... It's hard to get by just upon a ...
Happy Holidays
Today will be Thanksgiving in the U.S. once people get up and start going about to friends and families. We are missing it. Last night we went over to a local house of someone we met, Ame, our dive boat captain, and ...
Woosie Diver
Woosie Divers We were supposed to go diving this morning. I was all excited about it until we got to the boat. It was a very small boat, not in very good shape, but I figured it ...
Celebrity Love Island!
... leave as it meant saying goodbye to the four girls we had been travelling for the last 2 weeks with, however we have already planned a fiji reunion in july in london so that will be cool. Headed back to our hostel on the mainland until 18th Jan when we ...

A proper resort!!
We were due to be spending 2 nights on the Wanna Taki cruise boat however it broke down so instead we were put on Manta Ray Resort - by far a better option after the horror stories we heard about the cockroach ridden dorms on the wanna taki! This place ...
