Ok friends this is it - we finally arrived in Fiji... We flew with Air Pacific (Fijian Airline) and when we got at Brisbane Airport to check in there was a massive line even beyond the dedicated isles. The reason for this was that the plane was almost full but there were only 3 or 4 counters operating. It took about 45 mintues before enforcement...

Arrived back at the main land to get a taxi to Sambeto, the sleeping giants woodlands. I was informed from a fellow traveller in Tahiti that I must go to Stoney Creek Resort. So I did and yes it is a very nice place but nobody was there. 2 old couples, a family and another young who all checked out two days later. I had booked up for 6 nights u...

well Fiji is as beautiful as we thought it would be... the weather has not been as sunny as we had hoped but still hot and managing to tan (or in als case burn.....) we have done little but sleep in the beach hammocks and read (and eat..) the accomodation is ace - we have our own beach hut that is practically on the beach, although the whole Lov...

Aamulla koitti haikeat jaahyvaiset Drawuwalulle. Lahes kaikki kylalaiset kavivat aamun mittaan heittamassa hyvastit ennen lahtoa. Kokonainen kuukausi tuli taalla asusteltua kylalaisten kanssa ja paikasta muodostuikin eraanlainen koti kaukana kotoa. Paluulento poikkesikin hieman tulomatkan privaattilennosta. Matkustajia koneessa oli 3, mutta kone...

I was in Fiji. That's what my passport says and I'm stickin' to it.

Dateline.....sometime in late April and early May Okay, today is August 24th, and I was reminded I never finished my blogging to close out my trip. I have a good excuse. A week in Fiji left a lingering since of laziness that I fear may be terminal, or at the very least, life long. I think my last entry had something to do with New Zealand, so I ...

We finally arrived in Fiji at three in the morning, after a pretty long flight from L.A. Long and boring as there is very bad in flight entertainment on the Air New Zealand flight. However, you sleep more which is good. We had pre booked a hotel (don't want to keep on repeating the same mistake throughout our trip now do we?) and hence had an ai...

Day 93 - 17th July 2006 - Nadi This travelling business involves a fair amount of time in post offices! After our free breakfast in 'Rebo' at the base of the Sky Tower (for kicking up a stink about the poor service in SkyCity by Gill on reception), we head to the PO with a bag full of gear to post home. The New Zealand postal service requires yo...

BULA from Fiji, Yes, we know it's been a while since we wrote, but strangely, they don't have internet access (Or electricity or phones etc) on most of the islands we've visted although strangely we did manage to catch a Liverpool champions league game on Bounty Island, which Rach wishes we hadnt done ! So, what have we been up to. Well, we flew...

The yellow boat took us back to Nadi and a really nice hostel on the beach. This was the first day we had started to feel really well so we had a nice dinner and a cocktail and watched the sunset on the beach. I started to feel that this was what it should have been all about. To be fair they did do cocktails at the last two places but I could n...
