Fiji

Alright everyone so this is extremely late but I am going to post it anyway so you know what I got up to in the Fijian islands then I amgoing to post about the first week of Europe. I flew intoNadi on the 19^thof April late in the evening. We caught acomplementary cab ride to our hostel. The ride was a bit scary as the Fijian peoples seem to drive with a lot of enthusiasm and assertive skills. The hostel that we stayed at called the Blue Water Lodge was very nice and I would recommend it as a friendly clean and welcoming place though it rests a bit out of town though there is a shuttle. The day after we arrived in Nadi we headed into Deneau port where the ferries run out to the over 300 islands. Though the actual accommodation at Beachcomber island is reasonable the ferry to the island is whopping $88 FJ each way, make sure to have that in your budget. The island itself is great. Food is included in your stay and extras aren’t that expensive either. There are many activities available for all ages including scuba diving, snorkeling, paragliding, jet skiing, swimming, walking, tanning andjust hanging around in a hammock. I spent three wonderful days here meeting people from England, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and many other places from around the world. I went tanning, snorkeling, play beach volleyball. The sunrises and sun sets were absolutely amazing and I enjoyed getting up and going for a swim as the water turned to gold around me. After Beachcomer island I went to the Weston in the Denarau area. It was a beautiful room and a beautiful area to finish of the south pacific though food was extremely costly. We did learn about how to open coconuts demonstrated below and how to scale a coconut tree as well!! We explored the area a bit but basically just took it easy.

After the five peaceful and beautiful days I flew home for a great week with my close friends and family. Thank you so much Peter and Steph for letting me stay with you it was wonderful and thank you to my family for sharing such a wonderful evening with me as well.
