An in-flight discovery

Friday morning, we check-out from the hotel by 6:30 am, a cab drives us to the Nadi airport and we are ready to bid adieu to the island paradise. We boarded Korean Air by 10:00 am, our airline from Fiji to Seoul and were off. Most people may overlook the in-flight magazine, but for me it…

Last sunset in Fiji

In Fiji, I travelled along the coast, cruised on the blue waters and now its time to get into the water. I have no intention of splashing around in the pool. Perhaps try a water sport? This is the last day in Fiji and we are off tomorrow. But…lunch first. We order a French Martini and…

Water is supposed to be colourless…….elsewhere in the world maybe 🙂 …..in Fiji the water is in various shades of blue !! I am on a half day cruise today with South Sea Cruises. It’s a sightseeing cruise, staying onboard the catamaran and enjoying a 3h round-trip on the blue waters. At the Denarau Marina,…

Bula Fiji : An excursion to Suva

Any guesses…………..? The same question was asked in the Nadi tour and another gentleman repeated the question during the Suva trip. How much does a house cost here in Fiji? Can’t blame the tourists. Fiji is beautiful and very rightly an…

Bula Fiji : The Nadi tour

It is very tempting to arrive in Fiji and make a dash for the blue waters. Once in, it is very difficult to come out. It would be a shame to spent the next three precious days just frolicking in water. So I decide to avoid the temptation by opting to travel and see a…

In transit to Fiji

Fiji is far away and this realisation dawned when I saw the flight bookings. There are no direct flights and the transit time in another country is a tempting opportunity to spend a day or two exploring that place also. So we  planned 2 days in Hong Kong en route Fiji. This would be our…

A delightful Fiji tale

Fiji; the internet photos show sun, sand and blue skies; the articles talk about cannibalism, coups and tourism. Not very fond of reading on screens, I turn to find a book which will introduce me to Fiji.  It was difficult to choose one – the choices were narrowed down to – [1] Getting Stoned with Savages:…
