We arrived in Perth on Friday 27th November and waited to be picked up by Mike and Elese, (Tony’s friend from school and his girlfriend). We went straight to the house and had a relaxing day settling in and unpacking which was nice and just what I needed after the flight. Found it a little scary at first being at Mike and Elese’s place as they have this big, scary looking dog named Tyson; and not being a dog fan (despite my dog purchase last yr) I wasn’t to...

Melbourne We got to Melbourne a few hours later than originally planned as we missed our flight, however, when we did arrive, we got a cab to North Fitzroy and met Tony’s brother who lives in Melbourne with his girlfriend Lily. We spent most of our time catching up with them over many ‘pots’ of beer and dinners out and it was really nice for me to meet them finally and for Tony to see his brother again. While they were working during the day, Tony and I sp...

We really liked Brisbane, it was a very clean and modern city and the parks and man made ...

So we arrivied in Fiji Monday 12th Oct after a 10 hour flight from Los Angeles. Due to the time changes we lost our Sunday which was odd! We got to Nadi airport and then got a transfer flight in a 10 seater plane to Plantation Island - smallest plane i've been in but was good to fly over the many islands of Fiji en-route. We arrived at Plantation Island and had to get a boat to our island where our resort Funky Fish was situated. The beach wasn't so good here an...
