Bula!!
We have arrived in the Fiji islands!!! We got here last night after a 4 hour flight - we flew with Air Pacific and we got the extra leg room seats, which was of great relief to me as i find the lack of leg room a nightmare for all 5' 1" of me!
We were greeted at the airport by men singing jolly songs and playing guitars. Bula is a big word here (it means hello/welcome), its all you need to know really as they speak brilliant English.
We're staying about 10 minutes away from the airport in a hostel called Smugglers Cove. Its really nice we've got air conditioning, TV and a fridge in our room!! We had planned on going out to the Yasawas Islands (off the west coast mainland - home to celebrity love island and the bounty advert!) but due to this political coup thing we've decided to stay close to the airport. We're going to try and get an early flight out of here to LA as we're a little bit worried it might all kick off. The foreign office website is also saying only come here if its essential (we do consider our tans essential but we figured maybe it wasn't the best idea). We're calling Quantas tomorrow and keeping our eye on the news. Hopefully we can get a flight out by the weekend.
In the meantime we're staying on resort, sunning ourselves and drinking cocktails on the beach.
We'll keep you posted with whats happening.
Wish us luck!!
