    Suva/Fidschi

    February 9 in Fiji ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Suva ist die Hauptstadt Fidschis, das sich über 300 Inseln erstreckt und liegt an der südöstlichen Küste der Hauptinsel Viti Levu.
    Ich habe den Ausflug "Wanderung im Naturschutzgebiet von Suva" gebucht (Es war der letzte buchbare), bin brav über glitschige Steine bei 27° Grad mit 100% Luftfeuchtigkeit im Dschungel gegangen und habe von der Insel leider sonst nichts gesehen! Habe mir aber begeisterte Berichte von Mitreisenden angehört, die im South Pearl Pazifik Resort waren, eine Tour mit Sehenswürdigkeiten gemacht haben, usw.! Man kann nicht immer nur Glück haben! 😂Read more

    Flying to Taveuni Island

    December 15, 2023 in Fiji ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    This morning I packed up from my 'luxurious' room in Suva and headed to the airport. I was delighted to be boarding a Viking DHC-6 400 Twin Otter which consisted of around 20 seats (in a 1 2 formation) of which only 13 were occupied. Access to the cockpit was also freely available, you just had to be sure to crouch so you didn't hit your head on the ceiling. There was no on-board toilet and they even weighed every passenger with their baggage!Read more

    Checking Into Suva

    December 13, 2023 in Fiji ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    It was now time to check into my accomodation! After being asked 'which room number have you booked' ??? I was offered a free upgrade to a room upstairs. To my absolute delight, this room came with many things I had forgotten actually existed such as electricity, hot water, light bulbs, soap, air conditioning, a microwave, a fridge, a toaster and a television. Moving up in the world!Read more

    Suva, Fiji

    March 9, 2020 in Fiji ⋅ 🌧 81 °F

    After crossing the International Date Line, we lost Saturday, so that means we had an alcohol-free, fasting day!! Woohoo!!

    Today we are in Suva, Fiji, an unscheduled stop for us since we are dodging the Coronavirus and this was an island that would let us visit. It is certainly becoming more challenging each day.
    I’m sure we will need to make some sort of a decision soon about whether or not to continue our cruise.

    We did have a nice, but rainy day here in Fiji as this is the start of their rainy season. We visited a spice farm which was quite interesting. I know I take for granted the packaged spices I buy, never thinking back to the actual plant that they came from. The Fijians did a Kava welcoming ceremony, served lunch that was cooked in an underground oven, toured us through the spice trees and bushes, and shared their traditional dance and stories. They are a warrior culture, often fighting other tribes on their own island. They were also a cannibalistic culture, sometimes killing and then eating their enemies.

    Suva is a large, bustling city with modern stores and people and vehicles everywhere! The fruit and vegetable market was one of the prettiest and cleanest we’ve ever seen. Hundreds of watermelons, peppers, taro, eggplant, tomatoes, coconuts and long beans were all on beautiful display. The vendors were full of smiles and saying “bula” as a greeting.

    Many of the men here where a type of wrap-around skirt with a formal shirt and sandals.
    It was an interesting stop and a nice contrast to a very small town we’ll visit tomorrow on a neighboring island.    Read more

    Die ersten Tage auf den Fidschi-Inseln🗾

    March 23 in Fiji ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Nach einem weiteren entspannten Seetag, war es am 22.03. so weit. Wir erreichten mit Lautoka unseren ersten Hafen der Fidschi-Inseln. Das Klima ist hier sehr warm und feucht🥵 In Lautoka schauen wir uns die Stadt an und entscheiden uns hier gegen einen Ausflug. Abends gibt es ein schönes italienisches Dinner mit direktem Meerblick🌊🇮🇹🍕

    Heute sind wir morgens in Suva, der größten Stadt der Fidschi-Inseln angekommen und entscheiden uns für einen Ausflug. Wir besuchen als erstes das State House. Hier findet ähnlich wie in London alle 3 Stunden ein Wachwechsel statt. Danach ging es kurz durch den Colo-i-Suva-Dschungel zu einem Wasserfall. Kein besonders spektakulärer Wasserfall und sehr voll, aber auch dies kann passieren. Als Letztes besuchten wir ein fidschianisches Dorf, wo uns unter anderem die Herstellung des Nationalgetränks „Kava“ gezeigt wurde. Abends hatten wir auf dem Schiff unseren Spaß bei einem Harry-Potter-Quiz und einer Magieshow🪄    Read more

    Travel to Leleuvia!

    March 12 in Fiji ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    I decided to book two night at the Leleuvia resort, a resort on its own private island haha. They have dorm rooms for only FJ$60 (like CA$40)! It was recommended to me by Brian and Marla, and Sophie’s dad who stayed here years ago haha.
    As the resort is the whole island, it’s compulsory to also purchase the meal plan, and the boat over costs a bit too. But all in all it comes to about CA$110 a night which isn’t too bad for a private island! And check out on Friday isn’t till 3pm!

    As I’m coming back to Marla and Brian’s on Friday, I just packed a small bag instead of bringing all my things. Left the house at 12:30pm and caught the bus right as I got to the main road! Took the bus into suva, then caught another bus to Nausori, where the airport is, about 40mins away. I had time in Nausori to grab some takeaway fish and chips for FJ$6.50 before hopping on the bus to Bau Landing, just before it departed!

    After about a 35min bus to Bau Landing, which went through some very rural Fiji which was cool, I got off, at the end of the road. Bau Landing is where all the boats take off to go to Bau island, where there’s a Fijian village, but it’s very remote and kind of in the middle of nowhere. I waited here for the resort boat to come pick me up, and ate the lunch I bought in Nausori.

    The boat came and dropped off some tourists and I got on, the only passenger going to the island! Quite a rainy day today and I think tomorrow will be too but oh well, still nice to be staying on a small island!

    When you pass Bau island, with the village, you have to take your hat off out of respect    Read more

    Another Day in Suva

    March 11 in Fiji ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Took the taxi into town today, as I was waiting for a while and no bus came by.
    Explored the city a bit more, saw the Sacred Heart Cathedral, and went in for a bit. Also went to a McDonald’s as I have to try one in every country that has one! Surprisingly the best McDonald’s yet, a very good (but expensive) cheese burger. The bun was sweeter than in Canada, as is a lot of food here. Lots of sugar in everything.
    Walked around the market a bit more, got some starfruit and June plum (not my favourite new fruit but interesting). Also grabbed some snacks from vendors around the bus station including a milk custard pie that was really yummy!
    Also checked out the flea market again, and almost bought a little woven hand fan but it was too expensive and really not something I need haha, even as a souvenir

    Had time to have a nice long FaceTime with dad while walking around town! Was going to go out rowing with one of Brian’s friends from the church, Paulo, but they didn’t have enough people for the boat today. Bussed back and had a nice chill evening again, but made fried rice instead of spaghetti this time!    Read more

    Colo-i-Suva Forest

    March 10 in Fiji ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Day 50 of the trip!

    Bussed out to the Colo-i-Suva Forest Reserve (pronounced tholo-i-suva) for the day! The bus system here is awesome. Everything works with the bus card, and the busses are never more than like FJ$2.50 even if they’re far. And you just ask around where the bus that takes you to where you want to go is, and people direct you toward it!

    Got a little FJ$2.50 lunch in town, brought it to eat when I got to the park.

    FJ$5 for entrance into the park, and I walked in from the main road down a dirt road to the parking lot. There’s a little 45min loop that goes through the forest and follows a river and some natural pools you can swim in! Took my time admiring the nature and went for a little swim. Beautiful forest, a few spiders in the path tho 😳

    A nice afternoon spent in nature, and caught the bus back no problem! The busses stop kind of wherever here, you just have to flag them down from the side of the road

    Got home and had a nice call with tamsyn and another spaghetti dinner.    Read more

    Fiji Museum

    March 9 in Fiji ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Talk a nice walk in the rain to the Fiji Musuem, about a 25min walk from Marla and Brian’s place. Nice to walk around the neighbourhood and see things from that pace.

    With a student ticket, the museum was only FJ$10! Dealing with the first stomach problems of the trip though, so had to use the bathroom first lol. But nice museum, just one room but decently sized, with lots of artefacts and information about Fiji history, old and recent. Was a little bit rushed as I only had just over an hour before they closed but still enough time to see everything!

    After, explored the gardens and parks in the area and walked back in the rain! Thank goodness for my vessis and rainjacket!

    Another cheap dinner of spaghetti tonight haha    Read more
