Travel Blogs from Lautoka, Fiji
Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's entertainment is..
Last weekend I experienced my first Indo-Fijian party. I should probably give a bit of cultural background here, almost 40% of Fiji's population is of Indian origin (hence the daily bhaji temptation and my usual lunch of curry with roti brought to the ...

Waia Lai Lai - trekking
Denne formiddag lykkedes det at hyre en båd til at sejle os over til naboøen og tilbage igen senere på dagen. Turen over strædet i glasfiber jollen tager ikke mere end 10 minutter. Neden for den store klippe, der ligner to store sukkertoppe, ligger ...

Lautoka
Lautoka is by far the nicest city, at least during daylight. Adam's tip (Lautoka Hotel) is golden. The highlands are going to happen. It took some serious bargaining to get half the deal that my colleague Adam got, but I think I did well enough. Just keep ...
