Fiji

A picture Postcard from Fiji

The contrasts in Fiji are huge - between the resorts and how the real people live. It is a place of real gaps between the have's and have nots.
Home sweet home

Housing

Sometimes we take for granted what we have - particularly housing. This is an example of housing on an island in the Mamanuca Group in Fiji - a beautiful spot and the people were so friendly.
Is it waterproof?

Village life

We were privilidged enough to be able to share an afternoon with some of the villagers on one of the hundreds of islands that comprise Fiji. Believe it or not, people still live in houses like this in 2004 - its an amazing eye opener and a real reality check

 The orchids are beautiful aren't they? I went there 13 years ago. My youngest daughter managed to lock herself in the toilets, bit of a drama!!
