Matacawalevu- Long Beach Resort The island of Matacawalevu was our next visit. We stayed in a resort called Long Beach. One morning we were feeling pretty healthy and went for a jog along the beach. We stopped off when the beach ended and lay on the rocks for a while to enjoy the scenery. Half way along the beach is a tea shop, selling tea and cakes for $4. We were able to sample the local coconut and chocolate cake and the wonderful Pacific tea. W...

Nacula- Nabua Lodge Resort Next up was Nacula. A pretty little island just north from Beachcomber. We stayed at Nabua Lodge. This was a very friendly place where we soon made friends with the people who worked there Demma, Sova, Lucy and the lads Ron and Paul and Vasilli.

We drank and danced until the wee hours and after the drinking had stopped a few of us piled into the hot tub which wasnt so hot at 3:00 in the morning!

Many of the buildings in Fiji are still kept the same and these traditional houses and...

Bula everybody! (Fijian for hello!) We arrived in Nadi (the main island) early this morning 13th October at 6 am, after a turbulent and well fed 10 hour flight! At the airport we were greeted by a trio of Fijian men playing guitars and singing traditional Fijian songs which sounded amazing. Our first night in Fiji was spent in a hostel in Nadi, (pronounced Nandi) the main Island of Fiji. Our 6 bed dorm was very simple and clean but we only spent one night th...
