Fiji - the Robinson Crusoe Island

You've been laughing at me and my state of inoxication after having drunk too much of  psychoactive kava, now is my turn to take revange! The next card enitirely landed in the computer; it hasn't been sunk, lost, eaten or even bitten. If so, you have to watch two sets of pictures, totally ...

Robinson Island - the dance show

After lunch, a folk dance show began. With certain scepticism we started watching six boys and six girls performing, since we  have been disappointed several times with such shows. As the time went by (the show lasted over an hour), with growing amazement we were watching beautiful wom...

Flowers and people in Fiji

Today is our transfer day from Suva to Nadi, because from here there's only some kilometres to the airport.  The minivan was filled up (i.e. a little bit over the standard) with very  nice Fijians and the ride reminded us of a roller-coaster ride with all the hands up. Over three ho...

Fiji in monsoon rain

Air Pacific are Fiji's national airlines. They took us from sunny Sydney, in their Jumbo 747, and flew us into rainy Nadi (pronounced here Nandi). The flight lasted less than 4 hours. Fiji is in the time zone two hours ahead of Australia's east coast, 12 hours ahead of Poland, 18 hours ahe...

Sydney - time to say good-bye

For two days we have been taking good-byes with Sydney, our family and friends. At the same time we've been celebrating Adek's birthday. We are not going to reveal to you which ones. The friends we met at Bali Au Naturel, Sahrron and Wayne, with whom we had spent Polish-Indonesian...
