Day 13, 14 & 15 – Weekend Relax

Continuing on FIJI time we have not done much over the weekend. On Saturday Night we said goodbye to Va, our Pool Bar cocktail/mocktail connessoir. She has the next 2 days off and doesn’t start on Tuesday until after we have left for the airport… sigh…  Oh well,...

Day 12 – River Village cruise – Shake that Booty!

Vanessa and Kerrie-Anne went on a day cultural experience tour, which included a river trip. Whist it was an experience for Vanessa and Kerrie-Anne, I don't think the villagers expected it to be an experience for them! After the locals taught Vanessa how they dance,...

day 2 – Heading to Worldmark Denarau Island

So this morning we left the Mercure Nadi and headed out to the Worldmark Denarau Island. Denarau Island is a man-made island where all the major resorts are located, and has lots of security to keep everyone safe. The resort is amazing. Our 3 bedroom ground floor...

Bulla! – Greetings from FIJI.
