Hi Everyone!
We've just arrived in Sydney after 7 great days in Fiji. You may think this sounds mad, if not slightly ridiculous as you are all hard at work at home but after running around NZ and squeezing as much as possible we really needed a relaxing break and that's exactly what we found in Fiji.
We spent a night in Nadi where the plane dropped us and then got on the next ferry up to the Yasawa Islands which are north west of the main island.
To begin with you'll be glad to know that we had a day of rain, but that soon cleared up and made way for some sunny ones which was pretty lucky considering it's their wet season and they'd had a typhoon the week before!
Due to lack of funds and also just wanting to relax we decided to stay at Long Beach Backpackers on an island called Matacawlevu which many people found strange as island hopping is the done thing here. But it turned out to be a wise move as they upgraded our reservation to their luxury bure (beach house) which was absolutely gorgeous and it also meant we got to know the locals instead of just other travellers.
We'd like to say we did loads of diving, hiking and other activities but in reality we just did the one dive, some snorkeling, and loads of chilling on the beach and on our veranda.
Thanks for all the new postings. We'll uploads some new images soon as we've run out of memory card space.
Love J&A
