Howdy eveyone - so our next trip is underway! Saturday 5th April After being perfect girls and re-reading our checklist a million times, we dozed off around 2 am, to be harshly awoken at 4.30am! Ah the joys of travelling!! As much as we plan, nothing goes right...on the shuttle bus Joy realised she had left her mobile phone in the hostel! ****.....

We're back!!We had such an amazing time, the islands are nothing like mainland Fiji, especially Nadi which we found to be abit unwelcoming. Well, actually they are welcoming in Nadi, but only because they want to rip you off in their gift shops! I'm sitting here back in the Aquarius hostel, getting eaten alive by mosquitos, where we are spending...

Da var vi kommet oss til Fiji. Vi har vaert en uke uten internett, og det viser seg at jeg ikkehar dekning paa telefonen allikevel her paa Fiji, saa det betyr at jeg ikke faar sendt eller tatt imot meldinger for paa New Zealand, altsaa den 21 November. Vi dro fra Cook Islands, og med det aller siste flyet noen gang til Fiji, Air New Zealand stop...

for some unknown strange reason, dont ask me why but everytime i get in the shower i end up singing 'if i had a hammer, id hammer in the morning' how freaky is that! it always seems to be jon who goes in the shower next door and cant end up having a relaxing shower as im making him laugh with my singing... anyhoo... Today is our last day on nacu...

Looking forward to a great week relaxing by the beach, arrived with no firm plans (real backpacking now) stayed at the Nadi beach hotel, cheap and used by backpackers. They had a great travel desk to help plan your island hopping time, it was so easy. We decided to visit 2 islands in 5 days. Asa the rep suggested Wahu bay on Maololo island, as i...

Friday 30th March 13:00 Well I guess it had to happen some time; our flight to Fiji is delayed by 4 hours. This is our first significant delay and we've done quite a lot of flying recently. Annoyingly it means we'll arrive at midnight or 1am instead of early evening; we're losing out on valuable hotel time! I'll update the blog throughout the de...

It feels too soon to leave Australia but my ticket urges me on to Fiji.
I've few expectations of the place and nothing organised. Amiable agents are waiting for stragglers like me at the airport and I book a brief stay on the largest island, Viti Levu, before stranding myself on Mololo Island for five nights.
Fiji is humid, noisy with myna...

With months of travel securely under our belts we thought we would go out on a limb and not plan anything for Fiji until we got there (including our first night's accommodation). The lady sitting next to Rea on the airplane didn't think this was a good idea and we just laughed. Would this work in our favor or would we regret it later? After arr...

Bula family and friends (means a big fat Fijian hello)! Wow it's been a while since I last wrote and my God I have a lot to say, so grab a beer and enjoy my mini-novel . . . So first off, I have to begin by telling you about my unique/hideous way of getting to Fiji. First off, my flight to LA was cancelled in Chicago which meant that this was my...

Hey all, Well its that time again when we have to up sticks and move on to pastures greener. Sorry we haven't been able to update the blog recently or indeed post any pictures as the hostel we were staying at on the coral coast, though awesome in other ways lacked any decent internet access. 'The Beachouse' as it is known ranks up there as proba...
