MORE FROM FIJI

these shots all at Nadi pronounced Nandi, they other location visited was the second city and main port of Lautoka just to the north of us.

It was the wet season but only affected me once when I was caught at flooding in the Nadi bus station, the drop down window covers aren't that brilliant but when sunny the open sides are a godsend.

The luggage finally caught us up before we Left for New Zealand, we had days on desert islands, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking and lazing in the pool. We hired a car for a day, the roads were rough, only really the one main one around the island, drivers very courteous. Despite the military government all was calm, the Asians run most things and Lautoka is almost entirely Indian. Nadi very touristy and more Polynesian. The hotel was expensive but comfortable, it was like being in an episode of The Prisoner with the golf carts floating around everywhere, it was so large you couldn't walk it all . No hassles filming, everyone very friendly, giant frigs in the stream, by Nadi bus station, the locals throw stones at them, says it all I suppose. Temperature well up over 90 some days and very sticky. Guinness at the local shop and some wine so survived, breakies were to die for though. Went on a sailing ship, very enjoyable, Sue dived into the ocean from the top deck, very brave.
