Bula everyone! After a 26+ hour flight we have finally arrived here in Fiji. The flight itself was pretty good if you think trying to sleep in an area the size of a pea is good. But the movies and food were good so can't complain! Staff were friendly, but "strictly prohibited" the use of toliets by more than one person...what they were talking about we have no idea!! Needless to say, we stayed strapped in our seats!
LA was a bit of a nightmare, 2 hours just to get through immigration, by which time the sniffer dog ("canine" in the US) had found Jon's plums...I mean the ones in the bag he was carrying for Fi 😊 We then got a telling off for throwing them in the bin..oops.
Anyway, we arrived in Nadi, greeted by a band playing and singing! Was hilarious at 6 in the morning! Our hostel (Smugglers Cove) is really good, although once again we think we have been given the disabled room as it is huge and has bars everywhere...might help Jon after one too many cocktails, Fi would obviously never get in this state (ha ha - Jon)
Anyway, about Fiji...it's
lovely so far! The sea is beautiful, the people are really friendly, and despite all the rumours, we haven't come across any glass on the beach yet, some clothes, and a man offering us something 'special' to smoke, but no rubbish!
Tomorrow we are going to venture away from the beach and find a shop, maybe book a diving course - it's a hard life this travelling..... 😉
Update again soon,
Lots of Love,
Jon & Fi
