<center><b>Life's a Beach in FIJI !!!</b></center>

<b>Fiji is a beautiful group of Islands about 3 hours flying time north of New Zealand. It has a pleasant tropical climate, the diving and snorkelling are superb and it has excellent facilities for tourists, whether they are on a tight budget or looking for the luxuries of a plush resort.

Fiji has a unique history in the Pacific and today it is an interesting blend of Melanesian, Polynesian, Micronesian, Indian, Chinese and European influences. For nearly 50 years, until the military coup of 1987, the indigenous people of Fiji represented an ethnic minority in their own land. Fiji was the trade centre for the South Pacific during the 19th century, and the British claimed it as a colony in 1874. During the century or so that Fiji remained under British colonial rule, tens of thousands of indentured Indian labourers were imported to work on sugar plantations. Indigenous Fijians, however, managed to hold onto their traditional land rites and practices.

Present times in Fiji are somewhat unsettled following the political strife last year but tour operators claim that tourist spots are safe</b>
