Oceania » Fiji » Viti Levu » Nadi October 19th 2004

Found the Fiji Experience office and sorted out all the paper work and waited for the bus to take me to Nadi Bay Hotel, 5 minutes from the airport. The bus droped me off with four others and THEIR baggage! Checked into the Hotel with the free night voucher from the Fiji Experience. In a 8 bed dorm with the people from the bus journey, Nathan, Beccy, Casi and Brett. Nathan and beccy were from England, Casi and brett were from Canada.There was also a lesbian couple lying on the bed opposite me! Spent the day around the pool when it had opened and walking around the streets near to the Hotel. Walking down the roads you are surrounded by corn fields, palm trees, colourfull flowers and......McDonalds!!!Rained in the afternoon so we had lunch at a ... read more

After another late leaving party on the Saturday night woke up early on Sunday 17th October ready to set off on my travels. All I had to do was pack my rucksack, get all my tickets together and find my passport!! So with a banging headache I packed my clothes, shoes, information etc and went to the airport with my Mum and Dad. After a shaky handover of the tickets to the woman at the desk we sat down for a coffee and a final chat about what was to come in the next seven months. There were a few tears shed by my Mum as i said goodbye and walked through the gate to wait for the flight. The flight from Manchester to London was only 45 minutes so compared with what I still had ... read more

hi everyone,today i'm starting to get a bit home sick.i woke up and felt odd and just wanted to lay there with those damm lizards screeching in my ear.i got up this cloudy fijian morning and offered to sweep the yard full of fallen mangos and leaves.little did i know befoe i stared that the properety is 3 acres.i was abit swaety by the end.but it did give me lots of time to reflect and meditate.remember suzanne u told me about ur friend that went to that yoga school and ate her food in silence,well i kinda felt the same.note to all when you are doing something monotonous really try to meditate and it does ease the mind.i paused to speak to a fijian who spends his day planting casava trees and he was worried i ... read more
