10.35 - Well I have arrived safely at my Youth Hostel in Fiji. First impressions are good so far although it is a bit quiet. Looking around there seems plenty to do but a lot of it seems to be tours for several days which aren't what I want really as I have already booked all my nights here. The facilities seem quite good, they even have a pool table as well as a swimming pool! It's a good job they have travel centre or I wouldn't know where to start. I have to say that the best thing about this place is that the dorms are mixed! Roll on sleepless nights! The plane journey here was quite uncomfortable due to the cabin being absolutely freezing and having to take a detour due to bad weather or something. Fiji isn't quite how I expected it to be. I thought it would be quite modern and luxurious like Hawaii but it seems run down with poverty. It isn't like a shanty town but there seems to be a fairly low standard of living. I feel quite lonely at the moment especially since no one seems to talk.
12.03 - Well I didn't have to wait long, I have made friends with some girls from Canada (one of them is a real hottie!). Will try hang round with them. The weather is not very good, hot but cloudy. Hopefully it will get better.
18.50 - A good day today. I think I have made some good friends. It's a shame they are going on Friday. Fiji isn't what I expected it to be. I thought it would be white sand and sun. Instead there has been torrential rain
