The day that never was
So we left Hawaii on Sunday night and arrived in Fiji on Tuesday morning and the flight took 6 hours. How weird... Crossed the international date line. Didn't tell us when. No announcement. Not even some special effects. Mind you, tired Jen and ...
Suva Fiji
Still in Complete Shock!
... lot of money. She also has to housemaids that live with her. It was quite surprising when she said that housemaids are quite common in Fiji. Now I know why she followed that motto. Ok, so I know that you are wondering about my spending, I didn’t buy ...
Forest Park :)
... . Today, Elijah and his gang, Leila, Lo lo (another volunteer) and I went down to the Eco Park located between Nasouri and Suva. The Eco Park is like a reserved rain forest that has many mini waterfalls, rivers and small ponds. It reminded me so much of ...
Beachcomber Island
... glanced down at the booking list and saw "Henry, Higgins" which are Katie's and Miri's surnames! I knew they were going to be in Fiji the same time as me but we didn't think we'd see each other as I was mainly on Viti Levu island and they were supposed ...
Visiting my big sister
On Saturday 16April, I went to visit my dear big sister Laisa in the hospital in Suva. She was more than happy to see all of us from the Burning West. Took some fruits. We left Suva City around 5pm and on our way to Vuda, the encountered some ...
Nananu-i-ra
... of the two main roads in the whole of Fiji. This ride was insane because the road is mostly dirt road through the interior of Fiji, and the bridges are literally four wooden planks where you can't even see the bridge as you are going over! SCARY! But it ...
Our 16th Destination

Suva, Fiji

Off I go
As usual, nothing would get done if it wasn't for the last minute! Having had my shots, passport sorted, and painfully cut my packing pile successfully in half, finally it is starting to get a bit more real. To Auckland I go, ...
Spicy Suva
... pineapple, banana, water melon. Then the big resort-chains came into view: Hyatt, Pacific Harbour etc. Just past noon, I was in Suva, and liked it immediately (which says something given I do not like cities in general). The city is fairly modern, by ...
Immigration, Shipping And Airline Offices

Day 8 - Baravi & Malevu Village Tour
... open with a large homemade meat clever. We drank some of the coconut milk – really it is a bit of sickly taste; I prefer Fiji Beer myself. We had some of the coconut flesh too; which was OK. Funny it doesn't taste like a ...
Fiji Airport
Upon arrival at the Fiji airport, I could feel the humidity. At the airport, I watched the sunrise over the hills. This is probably the most beautiful location I have ever seen an airport located in. The hills surrounding the plane were ...
Backentry!
Here;s the entry that I didn't get to post last week so here it is now: So it's officially been a whole week in Fiji! From the photos I posted on my shutterfly page, you can tell how much sun we've been in! And all of our faces are pretty much always ...

Superb SCUBA

First Real work day!
... the doctors who is a young Fijian. She mentioned that they do not get paid a lot and are actually the worst paid in Fiji (so surprising). I’m not sure if it is because they don’t specialize here or what. Either way, it is quite different ...

Bula! Welcome to Feejee!
... see the real Fiji, where real people work in fields, go to schools or actually do something other than serving you Fiji beer at bloated prices. Suva is blue-collar and in-your-face, basically the opposite of touristy. The city is home to some of the ...
Fiji Day 5 and 6
... three cans of beer (if only I drank beer). Thankfully, I didn¡¦t win because the guy who won had to drink a can of Fiji Gold beer out of a snorkel. Sounds like something we¡¦d do at Wisconsin¡KI may have to bring that back fº. After the crab race ...
