Fiji for a couple weeks Voyageur
First time in southern hemisphere
6 avril 2025, Fidji ⋅ 🌙 25 °C
We landed in Nadi international airport in Fiji at 6am. After meandering our way thru customs and setting up SIM cards we connected with our driver who brought us 45 min around the island to Shangri la resort (after stopping for me at a market to get a flat of beer so I wouldn't have to pay resorts prices...vinaka is thank you in Fijian)

Once we checked in we all got a nice cold glass of pineapple ish juice. We walked thru to our room and then headed for breakfast at the closest buffet. So many good food options here.En savoir plus

Beachy keen

After breakfast we collected our bags and unpacked a bit. Then found our way to one of the pools with a walk down to the beach. This part of the island has a barrier reef a few hundred feet out which keeps the water near the shore quite calm. The ocean water temp is around 30C. Like a bath! Aurora found a coconut she renamed kakamora from Moana.En savoir plus

Breakfast and a morning swim
7 avril 2025, Fidji ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Early rise due to the time change and we were already eating breakfast at 7am. Which then meant Aurora had us in the pool by 830. Enough time for me to swim and get back for a second buffet plate by 10am haha. But nap time hit just afternoon. The Baynes family is on route while we rest.En savoir plus

After some afternoon strolling around Shangri la, we met everyone at the Lagoon Terrace restaurant for dinner. Think sunset over the water catching up with friends/family you haven't seen in years. Spectacular!En savoir plus

Swimming by 9am again
8 avril 2025, Fidji ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Into the pool! Then a walk out to the shallows between the reef a few hundred metres out and the shoreline. Fiji is surrounded by a barrier reef which protects the shore lines from the bigger open ocean waves. Lots of little fishes and some sea slugs. And star fish. And all before lunch hahaEn savoir plus

Some lunch photos and then sunset at the Bilo Bar which is out on a far corner of the island. Very chill bar with music and sunset views.

Swimming then a storm!
10 avril 2025, Fidji ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
Thursday afternoon we set up a whole bunch of beach chairs to get out of the direct sun. Which was fortunate as a really good thunderstorm rolled in and we flipped over from swimming to table tennis and sushi go. Oh and gin and tonic happy hour.En savoir plus

Off to the market

Some photos from the Baynes visit to Sigatoka town. They took the bus along the southern Highway. Did you know the Sigatoka banana virus from 100 years back began here? But there are still many bananas. We went on a school and village tour at the same time. More updates to come!En savoir plus

Cuvu district School visit
11 avril 2025, Fidji ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
We took a little bus over to the Cuvu district school (nearest village in surrounding area). 180 students from kindergarten to grade 8, in a 10 room school area surrounding an outdoor field and a separate kindergarten area. The kids were all pretty excited to see the visitors. Kids in Fiji are taught English in class and we were encouraged to challenge them with vocabulary. And also lots of high fives and fist bumps. The highlight was certainly the singing performance at the end of our visitEn savoir plus

Chief for a day
11 avril 2025, Fidji ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
We stopped in Yadua village after the school and were able to participate in a kava ceremony. Aurora volunteered me to be the chief of our group. We met some of the elders and heard their stories and they shared some time with us. Kava is the traditional drink of Fiji. Quite the opposite of coffee. Sort of a calming relaxant made into a tea. Tourism has had an impact on Fiji in many ways but so far the benefits outweigh the detractions.En savoir plus

Tonight we enjoyed a traditional Fijian feast with chicken love and fish lovo (and a whole roast pig!) https://gofiji.net/popular-fijian-lovo-recipe/ with various taro dishes and then a fire performance with some incredible local talented folks. A story about love and marriage and a trickster stealing a sacred flame.En savoir plus
