Aquarius Fiji

... that I met this week, brother and sister, were on the same flight so we could pass the time together.  Now I am at Aquarius Fiji resort and so far, compared to the beautiful Taveuni, it sucks ass. :) The only positive thing so far is ...

It is my third and final day in Fiji and I'm ready for New Zealand!!  I could live without the humidity and over 150 (yes, I counted!) mosquito bites but it was a blast to snorkel and be on the water.  Day 1 - My first snorkeling experience ...

Day two and Fiji and it's finally starting to hit me that I am here, and this is only the beginning of my 8 month adventure!! The hostel I am staying at is quite small so I haven’t been able to meet anyone yet. I’m not too worried because I ...

... . I met up with a booking agent and made plans for my first few days, which saw me checked into the Aquarius Pacific Hotel. The Hotels in Fiji often double as hostels as they have dorm beds (8 pounds per night) also. I tucked into a full english breakfast ...

... a small eco-resort on a teeny island in the Yasawa Island chain which is northwest of Viti Levu, the biggest island in Fiji (which is where Nadi and the captial Suva are located). the airport of Nadi--which is the largest in the country by the ...

So the first day in Fiji turns out to be a national holiday.  I don't mind.  I hadn't planned to go anywhere except for a stroll on the beach with my new Israeli pal Shimon. We got talking to some Fijian guys on the return trip and had some ...

After possibly the 2nd biggest emotional crisis of my life I decided to cut my trip in Fiji short from 13 days to 7 and change my flight back to Melbourne. The hostel was pretty nice - on the beach, a LOVELY receptionist who looked after me when I was in ...

... Hanks kæmper for overlevelse i filmen Castaway :) Først stod den altså på transport til/overnatning på det ubeskriveligt flotte Aquarius Hostel i Nadi, hvilket er placeret lige ud til det turkisblå Stillehav, med pool og strand som en del af ...

... addressing strangers with a bright "Bula!" ("hello" in Fijian). When I woke up Sunday morning, I went to the travel desk at Aquarius and formulated a plan for the next 10 days. On Monday I would board the Yasawa Flyer ferry and head off to 4 backbacker ...

So maybe I was a little quick to judge Aquarius Fiji the other night. It isn't completely terrible but in comparing it to the other places I have been, it is nowhere close. Even for a hostel. It feels really small since it is one of a bunch on the beach ...

... to get my Freedom Air flight to Nadi, on Viti Levu, Fiji's largest Island, I am now sat beside the pool at the Aquarius Fiji Backpackers writing this entry in the scorching heat! Its lovely - you can bloody tell the sun is stronger here though! Flight ...

... done since Yangshou. I left around 11:25AM to get the bus to town. I stood there for about 45 mins with Amanda and Laurie from Aquarius Fiji. They were also going to town on the bus but we saw no bus. A taxi driver pulled up and said we could go with ...

... . We had lunch (Fish) with a very nice Fijian lady Sarah. Llegamos a Nadi el 5 de feb. 2005. Nos quedamos en el Hotel Aquarius. Queda al frente del mar y tiene una buena piscina. Fuimos a caminar por el centro de Nadi. Parece el centro de Porlamar en ...

... bad as Jamaica, but the dichotomy of the glitzy Oceanside resorts and the rustic homes of the local people still exists. The Aquarius Resort is a small, quiet, clean little place directly on the beach.  Occupancy was well below 50% and after dark I ...

... watching people having fun in the sea!! So we dumped the car back at the airport and got a taxi to a place called Aquarius between Nadi town and the airport. There's a whole bunch of different hotels/hostels in that area of varying standards. Aquarius ...
