This morning I decided to book a Fijian Village Visit that I missed out on last time whilst on Nacula Island at Nabua Lodge.  This was only a 20 minute taxi boat ride across the clear waters of the Yasawa's.  Whilst crossing these waters, I did notice there weren't any lifejackets on board.  I think this could be a danger for many people because if something did happen, you'd better a be a good swimmer.  The Fijians are ok, they have feet the size of shovels!When I arrived...

I was suprised at just how beautiful the islands were and it was great to see them. It was a 5 hour ferry ride to Nacula which was as far north as you could go and I went to Nabua Lodge. It was very basic here, run by the Local Fijians and there were only 8 toursits on the island. Outside toilet, outisde shower which was a caref...

We learnt a valuable lesson when we arrived at Nabua lodge: Don't let the friendly guy at the airport talk you into going to where 'everyone's raving about', especially if you've just arrived from Hawai'i on an overnight flight and feel like shit. No doubt he made a healthy commission.   After a 5 hour transfer from Denerau on the Yassawa Flyer ('yellow boat' to the locals) Much has been made about Fijians being the friendliest people on earth but at this stage we weren't feeling ...
