Last night was our last in New Zealand. We stayed at the same holiday park we had been staying at so we could get all of our clothes washed and everything sorted on the camper before having to return it this morning. Our bags have grown in size even more since we first hired the camper van. I can't remember buying anything particularly big in New Zealand, but both mine and Izzy's are packed to bursting point now!
Our flight was not too long, only taking three hours to get to Nadi International Airport in Fiji. First impressions on the country is... WOW! We found a nice hostel online that picked us up from our flight this afternoon. Every member of staff here has been super friendly, so much so it's quite unnerving. If a stranger was this nice to you in England, you'd be a bit concerned. Here's a shot of the beach across the road that I took a couple of hours ago...
The hostel has been super helpful with sorting out the rest of our trip too. They have a sister hostel on another island. I think this place is kind of a stepping stone to go from the airport to their other resort. So we have booked 6 nights there, from the day after tomorrow. Unfortunately it takes a three hour bus journey, 16 hour ferry trip, 30 minute taxi ride followed by another 30 minute boat ride. Everyone we have spoken to in the hostel has said it is paradise. I'm pretty excited about the activities we can do on the island, such as snorkel with sharks and manta rays, play in the natural waterfall/waterslides on the smooth rock, and spear fish with locals.
The owner of the two resorts has a 'secret' island which takes 10 mintues to walk around the outside of it. It has two buildings and rarely has more then a few people on it so I think we will be taking a little trip there for a day or so too.
My next blog post will probably be in a couple of weeks when I return to the main island before returning home because there is not much electricity, let alone wifi.
