Denarau, Fiji Islands, Private Mail Bag 396 Nadi, Viti Levu, Fiji, 67-9-6751111
I was wide awake at 6am as the light began to stream through the windows onto our bed. This time we don't have a private bedroom, the double rooms are simply curtained off from the rest of the dormitory. However surprisingly there hasn't been any noise at all from the people in the dorm and I haven't heard people complaining that somebody's snoring sounds like a traction engine at the far end. Life in Fiji seems to give everybody early mornings and early nights, yesterday somebody was laughin...
Denarau, Fiji dandewey1974With no need to be up early for breakfast, the routine of getting up at 7am was broken. Whilst I did stir at 7am, it was very easy to fall asleep for another few hours. It's actually a bit of a culture shock coming from backpacker life straight to the lap of luxury. In fact compared with the simple life that the majority of Fijians live on the islands and small part of it we've sampled during our trip, the luxury of the hotel almost feels a little obscene. Still a little guilt is a small pric...
Denarau, Fiji dandewey1974Our last full day in our luxury hotel, in fact our last full day in Fiji, the last two weeks have just flown by so quickly. We got up fairly early this morning, so we could make the most of our final day. Although last night's heavy showers had cleared up when we woke, the sky was still overcast, however cloudy skies don't mean a cold day in Fiji. Walking outside of the air conditioned room you get slapped in the face by the hot humid air. Despite being able to get room service to bring us br...
Denarau, Fiji dandewey1974After a long 10+ hour flight across the Pacific Ocean, the Study Australia group finally arrived in Nadi, Fiji (only to take another hour or so to get through customs!). We threw all of our luggage on a bus and headed for the Sofitel resort. When we got to the resort, each of us organized a small bag to take to Botaira and Beachcomber. We ate breakfast at the resort and then caught a large, yellow catamaran to take us to our resort. The trip took about 2 1/2 hours because the catamaran stopp...
Nadi, Fiji mventrice08
... in the country by the way--is very small and simple. after stopping by the travel desk and sorting out my transport, i waited with about 100 other people for our so-called "rides" to come. most of them consisting of beat-up vans with some sort of faded decal of the hostel's logo stuck on the side of the driver's side door. i have to admit i was a bit nervous that i had just signed up for something less than i was expecting... but my ride came and myself and about 6 ...
Nadi, Viti Levu, Fiji katelin... tarjouksia on hienoimmisakin paikoissa ( niinku tää Treasure Island resort alle 80 eskoo/yö) ja backpacker resottejakin on reilustu varsinkin Yasawan ja Mamanucasin saariryhmillä. Halvin dormi-majoitus tais jossain olla abaut 10 euroo yö, melko halpa siis. Eli sit vaan halpoja lentoja metskaamaan tai lentoyhtiöön duuniin (ei kannata, niil kaikilla menee sika huonosti...) ja klyyvarit kohti Fidjiä. Kannattaa ehdottomasti!!
Treasure Island, Mamanuca Islands, Fiji miiajussi... in Nadi town centre. Nadi is a dirty third worldish type place with a lot of the main stores of the main road being Indian owned instead of locally owned. We leave the girls and decide to meet up later, and souvenir shop in allthe big shops including buying Kava for the boys back home. We grab some Indian food from the type of shop we ate in all the time whilst in asia, but we have reverted to western type eating and it makes me nervous as i really don't want to get sick on the long ...
Nadi, Viti Levu, Fiji adam_and_kim... puolella! Jostain oudosta syystä täällä on hirveästi Intialaisia ja kaupustelu on heti samaa luokkaa. Meidänkin taksikuski oli sellainen äijä ja vedättäjä, että ei mitään rajaa! Ensin oli tiet (muka) tulvassa ja piti käyttää kaikkia kiertoreittejä ja seuraavaksi oli about viiden metrin välein jotain hienoja nähtävyyksiä, mitä hän olisi halunnut "vain muutamalla lisädollarilla" ehdottomasti näyttää! Oli aika lähellä etten ollut tämän suharin pillissä jo kiinni, mutta ...
Nadi, Viti Levu, Fiji travellerhans... the port/main marina area and ate at Hard Rock Fiji. We knew what the food would be and we both wanted a good ol' burger....and that's what we both got. Mine had quacamole, pineapple salsa and hot sauce; John's had bacon and cheese. John got a beer and I got a fountain Coke! Aahh The resort was wonderful and the staff was great. The beaches aren't like in the Yasawa Islands but it's a pretty beachside resort.
Nadi, Viti Levu, Fiji 2knightsabroad... 3 mal am Tag geschrien, als wuerde er aufgespiesst werden (ohne Witz). Ich koennt noch 1000 Einzelheiten erzaehlen, aber das ist alles nicht so interessant. Insgesamt war es ein sehr relaxter Urlaubn (auch fuer mich, musste "nur" 2 mal abends kurz babysitten und 2 mal fuer 2 Stunden am Tag auf die Kids aufpassen). Den Rest hatten die Kinder naemlich andere babysitter ausm Kids club. Pro Stunde verdienen die jungen Maedels, die da arbeiten, 3 fiji dollar. Das sind ca. 1,35 ...
