My Fijiian Experience... Highs: The stunning color of the water; the views from the pool at our resort. Lows: 'Fijian time' can sometimes equate to a low-level of service; the resort not getting back to me about going on a shark dive; having a faulty mask one day which resulted in a not-so-fun snorkel. Best Moment: Just laying by the pool doing absolutely nothing. Craziest Moment: Seeing employees of the rather-costly resort just laying around and sleeping. Smells: Flowers (maybe it's because they placed these very liberally all over the rooms?). Sounds: The guitar playing as we arrived; the nightly serenades for the departing guests. Sights: The ocean; our infinity pool; granite rocks near the beach; a piggy get roasted over the spit. Tastes: Fresh fruit; fish and seafood; saltwater from the ocean that entered my mouth while snorkeling (ewww!); creamy, tropical fruity drinks. Purchases: An underwater camera (clearly, I should have thought about this purchase back in Australia before going to the Great Barrier Reef...oops!). Western Companies Out Here: McDonald's. Other General Info... Visa needed? No. Type of currency? Fiji Dollar. About $1 FD is about $.75 US (just about identical to the NZD). Things Fiji Is Known For: Islands; locals being very relaxed (i.e. the popularity of 'Fiji Time'). Religion: Christian (I am guessing this is the predominant religion as a Sunday School from a local village came to our resort one day to sing.) Costs: Approximately $1,150 (with flights, resort, food, etc.). |
