We had a lovely sleep last night from 11.30pm all the way through to 9.45am this morning! We had a lazy morning, getting ready and catching up with emails and left the hostel around 12.15pm, bound for the city centre. We walked along Augustinas into the city centre (being beeped and whistled at along the way), en-route we stopped by the Plaza de Constitution for wander and a few photos. On reaching the centre there were many small street vendors selling, what ...

This morning was a very early start! We were up at 4.00am and ready for our airport drop off at 5.00am. We arrived at Nadi Airport at 5.20am and checked in early. We went for toast and coffee (Laura) and Croissant and Smoothie (Sarah) in a cafe before some last minute souvenir shopping.

The last 5 days have been absolute bliss and a much needed break to chill out and re-charge our batteries ready for the last leg of the trip.

After a 5 hour cruise - where we got slightly pink - enjoying beautiful island views, we arrived at Tavewa Island and the Coral View Resort. We were taken ashore ...

Yesterday we were up, washed, changed and had our second complimentary coffee, before checking out of the Rainforest Lodge and boarding the bus by 8.45am.

Yesterday morning we were up early and ready and waiting for our Feejee Experience bus by 8.00am - in true Fiji style it showed up at 8.30am! We made more pick ups around Nadi, then stopped for a 15 minute briefing on Feejee Experience and Fiji. After hearing what was in store for us, we headed into Nadi town where we had just 45 minutes to explore and buy lunch. We quickly went to a few supermarkets, the fruit market and an ATM, before rushing back to the bus f...
