Tropic of Capricorn Resort Nadi

... drink in one gulp! I had to take about 4 gulps! My tongue and throat went numb after, same with Paul.<br><br>After that we split up. Paul stayed in the village with some other students and I went to the Tau Village school up the road with the other students. I saw a lot of children today at the school. They are so different from American children. We saw kids from about age 6 to 14. They were so grateful to get ...

... tide. Popping up on the other side was pretty scary at it was pitch black with no natural light at all to start with. So next thing I know i've climbed 7-10 metres up the inside of the cave clinging onto dear life, it wasn't the easiest thing i've ever done. I was the first one to jump with plenty of rocks to potentially fall onto but after a nervy count down i took the leap which was an awesome rush and i felt good about myself after.<br>Entertainment on the island ...

... The next was international crab racing - you pay to own a (small hermit) crab and then the winner is the one which makes it out of the circle drawn on the sand first. This was very exciting, and my crab made it through to the grand final! woohoo! although he must have been tired from all the excitement by then because he let me down and came about 9th! <br> <br><br>And there was also games night where we competed as a couple, and as teams to win ...

... spent the week enjoying the luxury, the facilities, the weather and of course the wonderful Fijian hospitality. We took a cruise to our own little deserted island one day and did some snorkeling etc. We also took a brief trip to Nadi town, not much for a capital city.<br> <br><br><br><br><br> <br>We were all very sad leaving and wished we had another week. I truely had found paradise!

... Ein Fehler? Zumindest sind wir um die Erfahrung reicher, dass es sich lohnt auf Fiji etwas tiefer in die Tasche zu greifen, wenn man eine gute Unterkunft bevorzugt. In der Wellblechhuette, die wir dort hatten, kroch noch mehr Viehzeug rum als im anderen Resort. Kein Wunder, haben sich doch Dach und Waende um 10cm verfehlt. Dicht ist was anderes. Das Bad war ein Anbau und noch besser belueftet. Zum Glueck war abends Animation fuer die jugendlichen Backpacker und der ...

... Apparantly some of the Chiefs of other islands can be quite intimidating!!) Lunch is at 12.30pm and usually followed by time to chill out in the hammmocks with a book! We're summoned again to the kitchen for afternoon tea around 3.30pm and dinner at 6.30pm...such a hard life!!! <br><br> A few highlights of my few weeks here have been walking the four peaks of the island - 'The Four Peak Challenge', sleeping in the pig pens (they'd just been ...

... On y<br>retrouve, entre autre, le Hard Rock Cafe ou on peut prendre une biere<br>pour 2.50$ canadiens. Oke, on a mange a la chambre presque tous les<br>soirs mais c est le fun de pouvoir sortir facilement. Il y a<br>plusieurs navettes qui relient le port et les hotels mais on peut<br>aussi marcher(!) une quinzaine de minutes. <br><br><br><br><br>5- Prendre 10 jours de vacances dans<br>son annee de conge! ;)<br><br><br><br>

... We also took a boat to an island where they had a welcomming cermemony for us and we got to see how they lived. We went to their market and got to talk to the people (this was my favorite!). We went back to Nadi after the 4 days and had 2 more nights there. We all got massages and hung by the pool. On the last day a few of us went in to town and went to the tourist shops ...

... 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 ...

Nous voilà enfin à Nadi, ou le dépaysement est total. Nous somme en zone tropicale et même si quelques pluies s'abattent sur nous à l'arrivée, un seul mot d'ordre s'applique: Repos total. Nous trouvons d'abord un charmant petit hôtel au charmr local, où nous dormirons dans un bungalow face à la piscine. Au programme, découverte de la ville, repos et baignade dans la piscine ou encore dégustation des plats locaux.
