Arrived in Fiji!

After a long (10 hour) flight we made it to Fiji. We left on the 5th Oct and lost a day through time difference so were now the 7th Oct. The flight was pretty good, we both slept most of it. The entertainment system is nowhere near as good as BA (we flew with AirPacific), but not really a problem on a night flight.

So once we'd landed and got through customs its been pretty plain sailing. I heard on our transfer bus that alot of people lost baggage on the way over and it can take weeks to get it back so we were pretty lucky I think!

We have one night in a hotel in Nadi, the capital. And we get picked up at 7.30am to leave for our first island. The hotel here is pretty good, nice pool, internet access and free pool (brilliant!!). No beach yet tho so will have to wait until tomorrow for that.

I only have a few minutes of credit left here so will say goodbye. Next post will probably be in a week or so as they don't have internet access on the island. Electricity also shuts down around 7pm there (should be a good laugh!)

Bye for now
