Our last two nights in Fiji were to be spent back near the airport in Nadi at the Nadi Bay Hotel. We had a similar experience on the returning bus however this time we got to see all of the film, a very interesting film called Crocs. When we got back to Nadi it was only a quick taxi to the hotel and within 5 minutes of checking in we were sunning ourselves by the pool. Our first evening in the hotel we had a lovely dinner and then were invited to join a Kava cere...

We had heard from some other travelers on the islands that Suva was a bit dirty, rundown and the crime hovel of Fiji.

We have a very pleasant flight with Air New Zealand to Auckland and then a very quick transfer to the flight bound for Nadi on the island of Viti Levu, Fiji.It is at this point that we cross the international date line and totally confuse ourselves, or actually I was mystified and Mike exasperated trying to explain this concept to me.We left Canada on August 3rd at 9pm and after flying for 14 hours we somehow totally lose August 4th and arrive in Fiji at 10 am on...
