The first thing which struck was how European San Tiago was and the s...

Bula from Fiji (in other words Hello!!!) Had a great time island hoping in Fiji! The islands are so beautiful with powdery white sand, clear blue waters full of tropical fish and lush palm tress swaying in the light breeze- hope i'm making you all very jealous!!!! Only thing I missed off from my description was the sexy Fijian waiters who make you very alcoholic cocktails and bring them directly to your hammock!!! Pina Colada's all the way-yummy!!!!
