We left Ovalau two days ago at five o'clock in the morning in order to get back to the mainland in time to meet the Feejee Experience bus in one of the towns en route so that we didn't have to get all the way back to Suva. Despite this early rise we did nearly manage to miss the bus as we had to get a taxi to the next town and back in order to get some cash out and our bus drove past us on the way! We made it in the end and after a quick shop to buy some stationa...

Darren and Melanie had a slight altercation on Monday so we left Suva and got the ferry to Ovalau, home of the old capital of Fiji, Levuka. For this leg of our journey we were accompanied by Tamara, a fellow traveller that we met at our hostel from California. After the ferry ride and a bumpy ride across the island at break neck speed, we arrived in Levuka late in the afternoon and it was like stepping into an old wild west town! We half expected a couple of cow...

Our first stop was to get some lunch to take with us on our trek as we were told we would be on the move all day and as we'd missed breakfast we made the executive decision to get a toasted sandwich as we thought it wouldn't take too long to cook or eat. Darren however had different ideas and twenty ...

After checking in quite late on our first night and pretty much heading straight to bed, we have spend the last couple of days catching up on our leisure time and getting some of our chores done before we start to travel around again. When we awoke on our first morning on the coral coast we decided we should try to explore a little and see what was around us, so we set off along the beach. It was immediately apparent that the Coral Coast was not just some romant...
