Nadi Travel Blogs

Background: Fiji became independent in 1970, after nearly a century as a British colony. Democratic rule was interrupted by two military coups in 1987, caused by concern over a government perceived as dominated by the Indian community (descendants of contract laborers brought to the islands by the British in the 19th century). A 1990 constitution favored native Melanesian control of Fiji, but led to heavy Indian emigration; the population loss resulted in economic difficulties, but ensured that Melanesians became the majority. Amendments enacted in 1997 made the constitution more equitable. Free and peaceful elections in 1999 resulted in a government led by an Indo-Fijian, but a coup in May 2000 ushered in a prolonged period of political turmoil. Parliamentary elections held in August 2001 provided Fiji with a democratically elected government and gave a mandate to the government of Prime Minister Laisenia QARASE.

Dear all, Here I am in Fiji! Yes I am in paradise and so you would think that I would be feeling blissfully relaxed..but sadly it was not to be! We flew in two weeks ago and after spending two nights in Nadi we went down to the Coral Coast. We stayed in a room in the village of Korotogo. For the first three days we hired a car as there was some diving that we wanted to do which was a couple of hours away. So we drove to Pacific Harbour and did a days diving on Shark Reef in [View Full Entry]

That was also way woke up at 7:30, itching. Got changed and went straight for breakfast.

Made cup of tea, started on cereal, then Deb came down too. Followed up ceral with toast and juice - got to make the most of these [View Full Entry]

A hut by the sea
A nice bure to sleep in
Lovely bure

So I woke up in the middle of the night to my eye burring terribly. I had slept on the plane with my contacts in and fallen asleep the night before with them in. My eye continued to puss through out the night and was red in the morning. i then started to fear pink eye. But we were headed out to surf so i had to put the contacts back in and sucked it up. The boat left to go to the reefs to surf at 7:30 which is late in the surfing dawn patrol life but whatever. So we [View Full Entry]

We started our Fiji adventure at a hotel called Aquarius, smack bang on the beach at Nadi Bay, a stone's throw away from Nadi Town and the airport. The hotel itself, nothing to write home about, and the beach even less so (dirty, grey sand littered with rubbish and the odd stray dog wanting to be your best friend). Knowing that we only had to endure this for a couple of nights before our real Fiji adventure began (hopping between the idyllic Mamanuca and Yasawa islands) we made the best of it and relaxed in one of the many dual berth [View Full Entry]

Viti Levu, Fiji Oceania » Fiji » Viti Levu » Nadi
Ok, one more entry about Fiji- So yesterday I decided to rent a car and explore a little of Viti Levu, the island that Nadi's on, before jetting out today. Drove up to the city of Lautoka, about half an hour north of Nadi, which was a nice drive but the city is really not much to write home about. Although it was fun driving on the wrong side of the road, sitting on the wrong side of the car with the controls flipped around as well, so I kept turning on the windshield wipers whenever I wanted to make a [View Full Entry]

It was an emotional goodbye. We could have easily stayed in Mana Lagoon for longer but we only had one day before our flight and we were also out of booze. After breakfast we checked out and waited for our boat to arrive. We had the goodbye song sung to us and then began the numerous goodbyes and email swaps! At 11.30 the boat arrived and 16 of us boarded. It was a tight squeeze and as the back was so weighed down Mark got to hang on to the front of the boat and used as ballast! We arrived back [View Full Entry]

Pass The Dutchie Oceania » Fiji » Viti Levu » Nadi
As we left the world’s happiest nation, the sense of dread overcame our thoughts; the question was ‘How could we find another country that carries as much love for life?’ With heavy hearts we read our in flight magazine and collected last minute research on a nation that is regularly mentioned when people speak of paradise, but as both of us knew exactly what you see on a postcard we wanted to delve a bit deeper. Not that was going to come from the Air Pacific guide to garlands or the handy tips on how to drink Kava and see an [View Full Entry]

Bula! It's Fiji Oceania » Fiji » Viti Levu » Nadi
Exit Strategy From New Zealand: Rotorua To Taupo To Aukland To The Sky On our second last day of New Zealand we had a few things to do, so after browsing the town centre of Rotorua for an hour or two, we headed back to Taupo as we needed to return a faulty product. Fortunately, it wasn't far out of the way and we spent some more time in the Taupo centre. Hitting the road again in the afternoon, we headed up in an Auckland direction. A quick stop in Hamilton was on the cards, which is another sizable city in [View Full Entry]

Fiji har rundt 800.000 innbyggere og har vaert bebodd i mer enn 3000 aar. Landet bestaar av ca. 300 oyer hvor de to storste er Vitu Levu og Vanua Levu. Det offisielle spraaket er engelsk, og det snakker saa godt som alle. De har ogsaa sitt eget spraak, fijiansk, og den store indiske delen av befolkningen snakker fiji-hindi ved siden av engelsk. Pga. av forsinkelsene paa flyplassen kom vi til Nadi ariport kl. 3 om natten. Trotte og uten noe sted aa sove saa vi sikkert litt raadville ut. Det kom i hvertfall raskt en dame som henviste oss til et [View Full Entry]
