Fiji has over 300 islands in its archipelago, each fringed with coral reefs and lapped by warm azure waters - the diving and snorkelling are superb. Amid its wealth of natural beauty, Fiji's true magic lies in its people and the fascinating blend of their diverse cultures.
Fiji 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 rites and practices - meke (narrative dance), bure (house) construction, kava ceremonies, tapa-cloth making and pottery.

What should the fare be for taxi from airport to Jacks and can you bargain there or are prices set. Thanks, Al Alarcon
Could sure use some sun, sand & ocean now. I could almost hear island music playing when I opened your page!
good page, I enjoyed it and would love to go there
i'm green with envy...
looks an interesting place to visit.
Love your opening photo. Great page on Fiji. Lucky you, there wasn't a cyclone while you were there.
yep, sure looks like paradise to me! although those golden arches of mickey d's peering through the palm trees does not really suit the natural environment! thanks for a lovely page!
Nice page about this place, useful infos. Greetings from Poland.
A trip to Fiji would be a dream come true for us. One day we'll make it. And exactly what does a cannibal eat with a cannibal fork?
It really looks like paradice :-) Beautiful pictures
