Bula from Fiji!
Finally here after a mammoth flight, 11 hours to LA, 4 hours in LAX, followed by another 11 hours to Fiji! We also crossed the date line so our body clocks are all over the place!! loads of movies have been watched as you can imagine!!
Nadis not really what we expected of Fiji, the weather is very grey and wet and there's not a huge amount to do here (it's just a transit town really). The accomodation is basic but clean and everyone seems friendly enough. Our first stop - the nadi bay hotel is completely set up for backpackers and budget travellers so everyone here is in the same boat which is nice. And is actually a really nice place. However our second hostel - The Aquarius, doesn't exactly live up to the pictures in the brochure!! The rooms are ok but the staff are not exactly hospitable! It's trying to be something it's not...
On to the Yasawa islands for the 2nd week so we're hoping for better weather!!
Vinaka!!

Bula again from Fiji!
Well this is more like it! The Yasawa islands are the picture perfect image of Fiji! Loads of blue skies, golden beaches, clear blue seas, palm trees and a load of hammocks for chilling!!
the weather has improved dramatically, upwards of 30 deg C every day. We have visited 4 of the Yasawa islands (out of the 300 that's in Fiji!!) and they are all beautiful! the way of life here is so laid back - everythings on Fiji Time (which just means whenever!!). the food is lovely and theres loads of it. The island accomodation is very basic, a beach front wooden hut (called a Bure) with no electicity and hot water. However the beaches, weather, people and food make up for it and both Helen and I are really falling into the Fijian way of life!
Vinaka and be in touch soon
love A&H
