The Beach House Viti Levu

I landed in Fiji to find the expected wall of heat as I got off the plane, but also torrential rain, not so expected or welcome. Not sure where to check myself in I chatted to a few people while waiting for the bus, they were all staying at the Nadi Bay resort, so I plumped for that one. The plan for the week was not decided, so I had a bit of thinking to do, the next day I decided to inspire myself with a game of golf on the course that Vijay Singh learned to play on (he's quite good dontche...

I apologize in advance if this blog is not up to the usual standard, I did just write an amazing one but it deleted about half and hours worth of work, this was not my fault, but I shall try again, with more regular savings. Our first 4 hours today were an absolute mission. We weren't happy with our first nights accommodation in Fiji. Not that it had cockroaches or anything. I mean, yes there was a pool. yes the rooms were air conditioned, yes there was a bar, yes there was internet, yes ther...

I'm afraid dear readers that the time has come to bombard you with wonderful pictures of Fiji, that I'm afraid may make you jealous. I thought that places were the beach meets the rainforest were places that I would never get to go, but here you have, rainforest meets beach meets coral reef and its better than you can imagine from a post card picture. Not only is there a swing over the water, Hammocks, Sea kayaks, Dogs that follow you into the water and bark if people get into trouble, Amazin...

Bernie Today we were faced with a dilemma, we had run out of sun cream, someone had stolen my shoes and we had no food. It seemed that a shoeless trip to town to stock up on used, eaten and stolen goods was necessary. The day began immensely hot, which made the whole dilemma seem worse. After deliberating for over half an hour about how to get to Singatoka without shoes (its about 45 minutes drive away) we decided to take some shoes we had seen outside the bathroom. They had been there since ...

Today we went snorkeling again because we love it so much. We went on Tuesday morning as well. There are so many fish, and so many colours. Colours that I thought didn't arise naturally, like luminous pink and green and yellow and blue and orange. The fish swim right by you as well, they aren't scared, so close you can almost touch them. There were clams (I presume clams) the size of my whole body, and schools of fish that swim around you. Some people I spoke to saw a shark and a sting ray, b...

Since arriving in Fiji i haven't really done much apart from chilling out enjoying the sunshine having a few beers meeting some cool people. I went for a jungle trek to a waterfall and fresh water swimming then we went into a Fijian village 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 have been...

Hi guys. Sorry we haven't updated recently, internet wasn't working at the place we have been staying. We travelled down to the Coral Coast on the 13th Feb, stayed at the Beachouse backpackers, which was actually the location of Love Island (ITV series). Bit sereal! weather was still dodgy when we arrived. We stayed in a Garden House which was lovely & of course had geckos! We only planned to stay for 2 nights but extended our stay to 7 nights because the place was paradise, right on the ...

L8ter on

Just a few days here, and what a whirlwind...excuse the pun. The first thing that we flew into was a massive Hurricane warning. We were basically the last flight into Nadi for 2 days, and nothing left. We got to our Hostel, nice, clean and cheap, and waited for something to hit....nothing! A bit of rain was all. Nadi Town is not very nice, and from first impressions, we were worried about Fiji. However... We made our way South to a resort called The BEach House. Now we didn't know it at the t...

After returning from the Yasawa's we hung around Horizon backpackers for a couple of days and decided to head for the Coral Coast. We were to stay at three different resorts Vakaviti, The Beachhouse and Raintree lodge. On our last night before we left, we ran into Nikki, Ben and Gaz who we'd met on the islands. They were going for an all you can eat Chinese buffet as it was their last night, we decided to join them. 10 people walked into the restaurant that night, not everyone was hungry so 5...
