"SOUTH PACIFIC GEM" a Fiji Travel Page by wanderingbilly

MY WIFE AND I VISITED FIJI FOR THE FIRST TIME BACK IN FEB 2006.
IT WAS PART OF A THREE WEEK HOLIDAY OF AUSTRALIA, ONE WEEK OF WHICH WE WOULD SPEND IN FIJI.
WE ARRIVED ON THE MAIN TOURIST ISLAND OF VITI LEVU AFTER A FLIGHT FROM SYDNEY ON A VERY LATE VERY WET FRIDAY NIGHT, AFTER SORTING OUT A TAXI BUS WE SLUMPED INTO OUR SEATS FOR THE ONE HOUR JOURNEY TO OUR HOTEL, "THE OUTRIGGER ON THE LAGOON". AS THE RAIN BEAT DOWN OUR MINDS TURNED TO THOUGHTS OF A NICE SOFT BED AND A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP AND HOPE IN THE MORNING ALL WOULD BE WELL AND THE SUN WOULD SHINE AND OUR FIJI ADVENTURE COULD BEGIN...

WE WOKE UP TO THE SUN COMING THROUGH THE WINDOW AND WASTED NO TIME GETTING OURSELVES OUT OF THE HOTEL ROOM AND INTO THE THE FRESH AIR TO FIND OUT WHAT FIJI HAD INSTORE FOR US..
IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY JUST TO LAZE AROUND OUR HOTEL AND SIP COCKTAILS FOR A WEEK BUT THERE IS A WHOLE ISLAND OUTSIDE OF THOSE GATES AND ALL OF ONE WEEK TO SEE IT IN.
SO LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN....
