Bula! We are in Fiji, well we have actually left but i am going to tell you all about it. Fiji is a beautiful place and although it is quite small in size there is loads to do. We opted to let someone else take care of the travel arrangments and scedule of this part of the trip and signed up for an all inclusive package around the islands to the west of the mainland - the trip was called 'Tropical Awegasm'!

Life's a Beach! What trip to Sydney would be complete without going to Bondi! We got up early and headed out by train and bus to the beach, it only took about 30 minutes and as you got closer the suits and briefcases of the city turned into shorts and surf boards. As soon as you step off the bus you see the coffee shops and surf shacks, you can rent or buy boards or just get a book and sit and watch life pass you by. As far as the beach goes it is ju...
