My flight to Fiji was originally scheduled to leave at 10 pm. After a very long delay I eventually left Auckland International airport at 1.30 am! I arrived in Nadi @ 4.00 am. I was then taken to my pre-booked accommodation, Nadi Bay resort hotel where I was able to have a 4 hr sleep before taking the coach transfer to port Denarau where I boarded the Yasawa flyer to take me to my first Island, Beachcomber.

Some interesting or not so interesting things about time on the boat and Fiji time. I’m real good at knowing if the current day is an even or odd date, ... read more

Friday 7th July We landed at the resort and I was given bed number 202 - which as it turns out was exactly the same number given to a German girl. Didn't think she was up for sharing a bed - hadn't even bought her a drink!!. So went back and asked for a new bed number. Seems the dorms were full so I got a Bure (small little house - usually for couples/families), but had to share with two other German girls - with only two beds! Seems I was destined to sleep with a German girl! ;-) They had the double I had the single and all was good. This resort was a lot bigger than the previous ones. On the other shore was the famous Blue Lagoon used in the film of the ... read more
