well what can i say about fiji!!!
the flight was quite short from auckland and it was a good flight. When i got to fiji it was raining and that lasted all my first day. i stayed at the nadi bay hotel resort in a dorm room which was nice as i shared it with 3 other girls and no men. I went into the town in the afternoon to get some supplies.
Anyway the second day the weather was a little better no rain but also no sunshine. I started my tour of the fiji island. I had heard from some people at the resort that there was a cyclone coming towards fiji. Anyway I got to the port to get transferred to the first island. the tour company didn't mention anything about the cyclone so I thought it must have been safe for us to o to the island. Oh how I was very wrong!!!!!!!
After we left the port the weather changed very quickly and it started raining and with rough seas. We had to transfer to a small tin boat to get close to the island, this was a challenge but seemed fun at the time. My back pack was completely soaked by the high waves. Well got onto the island and had about an hour of sunshine then the rain came heavy but warm. We had lunch then was told that we were going to be evacuated back to the main island because the cyclone was coming towards the island we were on. Well it took till 5.45pm for us to get off the island. Again we had to get into the tin boat to get back to the bigger boat to get us back to the mainland. It took the small tin boat 5 attempt to get close enough to the island for us to board. But this time the waves had started to get bigger and it was really had to get into the boat.
Eventually we got off the island then came the difficulty of boarding the larger boat, the sea was really rough and bumpy. By the time I got to the main land i just wanted to leave fiji. So I left fiji as i just didn't want to stay in fiji or go out on another boat. left fiji two days later and headed for LA.
I had a really good time in LA, even though I'd been before I visited the chinese theatre and the hollywood sign. The second day I went to disneyland, it was a great day and I didn't feel think I was alone as it was really busy and there was lots to do there. I did a little shopping at downtown disney and watched the parade before I headed back to the city. I stayed in a hostel on melrose avenue which was nice and close to the attractions.
home soon see you all very very soon
love tasha xxxxx
