Safari Island Lodge Fiji Rakiraki

... decided not to do a great deal either - I think I will join her. I did manage to go to a Fiji seminar about what to expect from the Ports, it was interesting that we were told to haggle like our life depended on it - she said drop off 75% of their initial price and go from there! we'll see tomorrow! We are off to Savosavu which is our first of 4 stops in Fiji, the city of Savosavu is a small city compared to the main port Suva and supposed to be a little ...

... science room' - although this too was fairly bare and dirty; making us wonder where exactly such a large amount of money (in Fijian terms) had gone. We left then, slightly puzzled as to whether the state of the place was truly down to real poverty or whether a fair degree of mismanagement was also at work. For the children themselves though, their abiding memory will probably not be the sweets donated by one girl (with which they seemed distinctly unimpressed - again causing ...

... the island, to visit the village of Ravi Ravi. This is one of the two villages where I spent time last July as a Global Works staff member. I wanted to visit the incredible and most generous people of Ravi Ravi and introduce Justin to them. Due to the language barrier, our stay at Voli Voli Beach Resort was cut mighty short. We fit in a morning of beach time and that was it. We hurriedly packed our belongings and caught a ...

... suisa hingemattev õliprae lõhn. Wrap oli aga väga maitsev. Risto nentis, et see on üks tema elu tulisemaid "hot" valikuid ning tellis tulekahju kustutamiseks suus magusroaks veel piima shake'i. Võtsime veel teele kaasa valiku muffineid ning asusime siis saarele ringi tegema. Auto oli mõnus - ruumikas ja turvaline ning aukus teed meid enam ei hirmutanud. Lautokast üles põhjapoole nägime suuri ja võimsaid suhkruroo põlde. Kaugemalt paistis juba ka mägist maastikku. Möödusime ...

... them 130 quid for the course material and six opportunities for the sharks to nibble at our toes. When we arrived the place was very beautiful so we had to sit down at the bar for a beer. "Fiji tiiiiime" was the first words from our dive instructor, rolling out the word time in a very slow relaxed manor. Fiji time is a national institution here, it roughly means: something will happen when it should have happened not ...

My bus to the boat was leaving at 5 AM so with some sleepy eyes I sat myself at the windowless window. Enjoying the rising sun I made my way to the boat which was first to leave for Viti Venu, and from there continue onward to Valua Levu, the second largest island in Fiji. This 30 year old boat wasn't pretty but did manage to get me there around noon. The ticket I had would bring me to Lambasa, the biggest town on the island, but I had set my mind on taking the road less ...

Arrived early in the morning, having left early in the morning (12:10) of the 31st Jan, flew over the international date line and hence didn't officially know when it became the new year. ALl time seems to get suspended in flight, the captain certainly makes no announcement, so no chiming bells or singin Auld Lang Syne for me Im ...
