First Landing Beach Resort & Villas Lautoka

... water was so clear you could look right through it! When we arrived at our tiny island we<br>were greeted by a whole group of native Fijians singing us a welcome song. They gave <br>us an orientation about the hotel. We were then escorted to our little hut in a gorgeous <br>garden. We spent the rest of the day laying on the beach! The next day we went over<br>the hill to a village were we went to there market and to there kindergarten. On Friday <br>I ...

Woke up this morning just outside of Nadi at Pt Denarua. This is a tourist hot spot with 5 resorts in close proximity and a newly established commercial centre. Judging by the waterfront real estate it is also quite expensive. <br><br>14 of us set out this morning by catamaran for a little atoll called South Sea Island. This is the post card ...

... think much of the horse as I cannot get it to canter much more than 5 strides even though I was promised a fast horse. However after some distance the horse suddenly stops and turns round and literally sprints the whole way back - now that is more like it!! Just a brilliant feeling galloping along the beach! So I definitely enjoyed my time in Fiji though a shame that there was very little sun!But it's on onwards and upwards to Sydney and to see Victoria there! x x x x x x x

... when we got there and the Blue Lagoon was as gorgeous as I remembered. Crystal clear, warm water, gentle waves and white sand - heaven. We decided to walk round the outside of the island to go back to our resort rather than attempt the scramble over the top again, and this proved to be equally if not more challenging as the tide wasn't out and we had to wade through waist-deep water and do some more scrambling, this time over rocks. I managed some more falling over, this time ...

Only when I had secured my money in the wallet and had placed the wallet deep in my pocket did the door momentarily open for me to walk through, before it again closed and locked behind me with a resounding thud. Once more we were back on the streets of Lautoka where hawkers awaited us at every turn. Taking Lynda's arm, we turned back towards where ...

So we got the groceries, laundry is done, checked out of customs and got the golf cart batteries. Between all the things we had to do we even managed to go to the Fijian Customs Auction. The auction was interesting but we didn't find any good deal. There was booze, rubber boots and 1,000 pairs of workman boots ...

... natural yoghurt for 28 days<br><br>and can't wait to sink there teeth into a nice juicy chunk o'Peter<br><br>gushing in sweet Adrenaline sauce). I have seen the whole ordeal as a<br><br>test of nerves and a psychological challenge for my phobias and have to<br><br>say therapy was successful! I've been happily snorkeling and diving<br><br>along the incredible reefs watching swarms of colourful tropical fish<br><br>and rays swimming along the banks of hundreds of different ...
