right i'll get to the point as have 15 minutes.....
Fiji is fantastic.
Next blog will be from New Zealand. Bye bye x
Only joking but have only got 15 minutes so here goes....
Been in Fiji for about a week and had a ball. I went on the "Fiji Experience' which is basically a tour around the main island of Viti Levu
1
. Meet up with 15 other travelers, all mainly from England and when to some seriously remote / poor places which all have their unique character and charm, including the people. The tour lasted 4 days and basically we when to the best Fijian beech, had BBQ played volley ball, etc then straight to a traditional village. Now this was a real village...not one of those set up especially for tourists and they change the village for each ground of travelers. I was really surprised at how poor some of the areas here are, i didn't expect this in Fiji but tin shacks are common in the villages, yet the people are still so happy and friendly.On the 2nd day, we when into the forests / mountains for a trek (albeit in an hungover condition) and walked the river. After about 4 hours, we reached the main Navau river and all hopped on to some rubber tubes down river for half and hour to a long boat station, then got the boat to civilization, not before jumping around waterfalls into the river! Fantastic day!!
Day 3 was another village visit, an Cava ceremony with the chief of 5 local villages, some bilibili rafting and a school visit and yesterday we when to the hot natural springs and mud pools.Today is my final day in Fiji so am chilling at the pool with the guys form the trip and a beer

. Really does beat work.Tomorrow i head for Auckland in New Zealand for round 4.
Sorry for the lack of photos, i have loads but these places wont let you add them on, will send a few soon hopefully.
So thats all from Fiji. Missing you guys and hope all is well.
BULA BULA x
