Chapitre 6 : Nous sommes redevenus des touristes sur l'île de NANANU I RA (14 au 16 Avril) Nous quittons Bobo à 5 heures du matin le 14 Avril...un peu tristes, car nous savons que nous avons vécu 4 jours magiques. 30 minutes de taxi 4*4 sur un chemin défoncé par la pluie, 1 heure de gros ferry, 30 minutes de bus bondé et 2h15 de bus pas bondé, 15 minutes de bateau à moteur : nous sommes arrivés sur l'île de NANANU I RA. Cette île se situe au Nord de l'île de Viti Levu, à 3 kilomètres de la [View Full Entry]

Bula! We are safe and sound and loving it in Fiji. Not sure we have ever been so hot in our lives, nor so mosquito-bite ridden! Last count over 100- each. Have spent the majority of our time on Nananu-I-Ra, a true tropical paradise, complete with white beaches, and beautiful diving right on our doorstep. We are now SSI qualified divers. We saw so much underwater, ranging from spectacular soft coral, to a white-tip reef shark. I was in marine geography heaven!!! We have met so many fantastic people- like 'the beach', only better. The resort is closing down today, to [View Full Entry]

Bula! After taking off from Rarotonga just passed midnight, crossing the date line and losing a whole day of our lives! we arrived at our hotel in Nadi, Fiji in the middle of the night and instantly regretted the choce of a $3 cheaper dorm with fan and not air conditioning as both bottom bunks were taken and the fan on the wall was pointed downwards therefore useless to us! The next day, after a rather sweaty night we chilled out at our hostel while the heavens opened and it rained all day! Day two and we headed south to the [View Full Entry]

We landed in Fji on the morning of Tuesday 7th November. The heat hit us as we stepped off the plane - it was a lot warmer than New Zealand! We got the free shuttle bus from the airport to our hotel. Our hotel was really nice and we had booked to stay for 3 nights. Basically, we didn't want to tour the different islands in Fiji for the simple reason that we wanted to do as little as possible. So, we had had a certain island and resort recommended to us (by a guy we met in New Zealand) but [View Full Entry]

Having gotten a lot of sleep due to our early night we had no problem in rising the next day with plenty of time to book our onward travel to wherever it was we had to go. The night before we had asked how much a return ticket from Naviti would be to Nadi and were reasonably pleased with the price quoted. This morning the price had gone up, considerably, several times. Every time we paid for our ticket the man would phone on to Manta Ray and the price would go up, or he, and this was the last time, [View Full Entry]

So from being meticulous at brushing my teeth with bottled water I found myself sitting covered in a gaudy sarong drinking dirty dishwater that had been filtered by a flannel, and drinking out of a wooden bowl that loads of other people had already! Welcome to Fiji! Kava didn’t taste bad at all, especially after half a dozen or so cups (your lips go numb). We were in the back of a shop with a whole group of people, young american students, studying in Sydney, and a scottish girl travelling alone. After bit of sightseeing we went back to the hotel, [View Full Entry]

Journey : Suva to Nananu I Ra island We left Turner house in the morning and made a tour around the capital of Fiji. Suva houses the Fijian parliament, and also the biggest university in the Pacific. After a brief look in the main quarters, we moved on to the Queen's road direction rural Fiji. Off for a bumpy ride we were, the roads in rural Fiji weren't paved. It was fun though. The Feejee bus was apparently very well known, everywhere we passed people were waving and shouting 'bula' at us from far away. First stop was a market somewhere [View Full Entry]

Woke up and went for a walk to the top of the island. It was huge compared to the other islands i went to. Full of secluded beaches and rock pools. Checked out and jumped on the boat to take us back to the mainland. Got on the bus and headed for Lautoka town. I had packed all my shoes in my bag which was now under the bus so once we had stopped I went to get some cheap sandals with Danyel. We didnt realise the rest of the group had set off to the restaurant so when we got [View Full Entry]
