I'm NOT Going to Title This Blog Bula!

oops... :P

"Bula" is probably the most over used word ever! It means Hello in Fijian, but it's tossed around so loosely you'd think you got money back for using it. On the upside it's an extremely easy way to interact with locals - but then again they all speak English here so regardless what you say, your greeted with a smile.

I …

How hot!

Bula all (Fijian for morning!)

Woke at 6am to the sounds of the waves... slept pretty well even with the air con noise...

Sat and watched the sun rise and those mad people exercise so early on the beach.... had a shower and toast and coffer as I lost myself in the surroundings...

Time to explore Nadi in a bit more detail …

Culture Club....Fijian Style

Friday was a day of Fijian culture, people, and weather!

I started the day with a really nice run around the island. The sunrise here is really spectacular so running early in the morning is something else! In fact, I will be doing that here again in a minute since it is 5:30 AM on Saturday morning here....

After the run, I took …

Fiji Island hopping 23/01-30/01

Sunday 23rd January

We left Bounce hostel in Sydney at around 10am today, sadly saying goodbye to our favourite hostel and city. We wondered around the shops and duty free at the airport, had a Mcdonalds and picked up a box of Australian short bread cookies for my bampa from this really good Australian made shop. We boarded the plane at …

Sun, sand and snorkelling

After a worrying start with cyclone weather leaving us on the main land for a day to explore tiny Nadi in the rain and play scrabble (yes people were literally fighting over it, we were stranded), we made it out to the islands to enjoy sipping cocktails, lazing in hammocks and days of snorkelling! Paradise it was. Met some great people and …

Bula...... anyone around.. but dogs and cats?

I was told it was at most $10 in fijian money to get to the resort (about 3 pounds). However after bouncing down a ridiculously bumpy road, also answering my question of why the car sounded so noisy, the indian driver, after trying to crack onto me 2 mins into the taxi ride, looks at the $10 I given him with distain, as if to say 'is THAT all??!" …

Back to Nadi

Oh dear, working backwards here and I'm starting off the story with my huge hangover!

Ellana and little Leith picked me up at 9.30 and we drove to Denarau for lunch and a little swim at the Radisson (love my life). I had to ask Ellana to pull over because I thought I needed a pukey but it was ok in the end.

Lunch was looovely …

Nadi - not to nice

We decide to go to Nadi town for the day to pick up suncream, insect repellent and a bit of food. We are fortunate to get a shuttle from the hostel for $1 (30p). As soon as we get to Nadi (pronounced Nandi) its crazy there's people trying to get us into their shops and its just horrible. We just about manage to book a trip on FeeJee experience to …

Bula penultimate

I arrived at Nadi Bay Hotel this afternoon which means that this is more or less the end of my Fijian adventure.

Well to update you...Last weekend we went to Bounty Island which was very fun, lots of snorkelling and kayaking as well as just the pure fun of being on a proper tropical island, very nice indeed. Also I should add to any …

En utilsigtet lang udflugt

Efter et par dage på denne måde syntes jeg at nu måtte der ske noget. Så jeg lejede en bil ! Dvs. det var nu den venlige servitrice fra før, der gjorde det. Hun er vist altmulig dame her på stedet ! - Bilen skulle leveres kl. 9 næste morgen. - Det blev den ! - Det skulle være en ny bil, - det var det ikke ! - Måske godt det samme, når jeg tænker p …
