BULA from Fiji
We're loving it here - after we got used to the heat!
The first day we got in and didn't do all that much. Walked down to the shops - which are a LOT different to Aussie-style shops.
The second day (October 11) was our wedding anniversary.
In the morning we went into Nadi - the people are friendly, and some know just what to say to get you to part with your $$. Lesson learned early on in the trip which has saved us a lot later on. "No thanks" is a very useful phase here!
We took a sunset cruise from Port Denaru around some of the islands, which was absolutley breathtaking. The steak was good too! Most of the food here is imported from New Zealand, and no cases of "traveller's tummy" to report (so far!).
On the third day we got a taxi up to Lautoka. I bought a couple of tops. It was quite crowded and we didn't really feel at ease there.
Yesterday we had a 3 site tour - Vuda Lookout (which is on private property), The first village on the Island of Viti Levu....more on that later - for now I can't remember how to spell it! Then we went to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, which is a lush tropical garden, set up by TVs Perry Mason.
More later - internet time has run out!
Bula!
