Fiji


This is going to be a super quick update as this was 2 1/2 weeks ago... wow! & I should really be writing my end of year reports.

So we arrived in Fiji at about 7pm (5pm Australian time) and by the time we got through Customs, collected our bags and landed at the resort it was 10pm!


The view from our window: The Warwick.


We stayed at The Warwick Resort and Spa and can not sing their praises high enough. All the staff were really friendly, great facilities including a fab gym! We paid for a Warwick Club room which included a room in an adults only section of the resort... woot. We went for the All Inclusive Package, so everything was included. All meals, drinks (except cocktails), all activities (except scuba) and some tours. To say we loved our stay at The Warwick would be an understatement. Highly recommended. While there we went on two tours one to Sigatoka and another to the waterfall near Suva which included a village tour and yes we did drink some Kava.


We then went by sea plane out to Malolo Island Resort. Hmm we kinda wanted to head straight back to the mainland and the heavenly Warwick :( So the facilities were basic, staff fairly unfriendly and we were only on a meals package. So everything had a cost attached (except Internet was free!) Anyway after mopping for awhile we got into it. Lots snorkeling out on the reefs surrounding Malolo. Husband Deluxe went for a sandbar tour and we both dived 'The Back Of Honeymoon'. Pity the reef was being munched by Crown of Thorns star fish and alot of the coral was dead!

So we will probably head back sometime soon, with the kids next time.

Fiji is truly family friendly and there were families everywhere!
