    Off to Fiji

    May 17, 2019 in Fiji ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

    From Flinders to Melbourne to Nadi to Beqa Island in 1 day.
    We leave Flinders with Sharp Airlines then spend the afternoon at Jimmy's. We meet up with Jimmy, Lauren and Will, 5 of us make up "Team Crawford ". Brian and Leanne call in to drop off some dive gear for the others to pack, I have my own.
    We head off to airport and meet the rest of the group, some we already know, some we don't.
    We leave around 11.30pm so we all should sleep on the plane. Some do, some don't, I didn't 😢.
    After 4 1/2 hour flight we get in around 6am local, and get on a bus for a 3 hour drive. Half way there we stop at Sigatoka for lunch and a souvenir shop look.
    Back on the bus to Pacific Harbour for a 1 hour boat ride to Beqa Island resort.
    We get a beautiful welcome from the Fiji staff.
    I haven't slept since we left Flinders and not functioning too well. Settle into room then have a nap.
    Explore in the arvo, get to know people and then a lovely sleep.
