We never have lazy days, so this was going to be it. A run, some swimming, some snorkelling a foot massage, eating and drinking and finished our last night here with a Fijian Show. Very nice! Tomorrow is going to be much the same except we make our way to the airport in the afternoon. The Fijians are really lovely and this resort is first class, and very few people are here, there are probably more staff than guests. Our trip is nearly over so Graham has spent t...

We have now got to adjust to different daylight hours, it doesn't get light until later here so we found that we didn't wake up so early. The laid back Fijians were still cleaning the pool when we were going for our early morning swim so we had to delay that until after breakfast. We booked a snorkelling trip to some offshore Islands. As our resort is on the way we were being picked up later than the rest of the passengers. The boat was quite full so we ...

A very early start this morning as our flight for Fiji left at 6.50am. It was sad to leave New Zealand but 3 nights in Fiji was something to look forward to.

However our resort is a few miles out of Nadi and is very nice. We probably won't even get to Nadi. There is a good s...

After our last night in the campervan we packed our bags and set off to Aukland. We had booked a night in a hotel in Aukland so we could see a bit of the city. We dropped our bags at the hotel before going on to drop off the van near the airport. We could see the harbour this time when we crossed the bridge, although it was a bit cloudy. It was quite sad to leave our campervan that had travelled 4,000 km. through a lot of windy roads and up lots of hills and ta...

The long sandy beach was nice and flat for the morning run but I am not feeling very fit. I think I will be struggling next week at Witney Road Runners. We left the quiet little campsite to go back to Mangawhai Heads which we had visited in the torrential rain a few days ago. It was a lovely spot and quite a few people bodyboarding which is the first place we had seen much body boarding going on. A walk along the beach and black clouds began to build and yes it s...
