Trapped in Paradise
By Gary of All-Around Fiji headline, I thought that there is no better time, one of my travel to delete targets. Although I explored the South Island of New Zealand, I decided to change course. Finishing Zealand could wait, I was on my way to Fiji.
The deep blue water, white sandy beaches, the lush jungle. View of the boat to the Yasawa Islands, I was struck by the beauty of Fiji. Paradise not accurately describe this place. The Yasawa are beautiful. Mind numbing, stupidly beautiful. Pictures are worth a thousand words, so I will here the images fill the adjectives for you.
In addition to the heavenly, the islands are easy to get around, let the Fiji dollar is cheap, and to do it, are all your typical activities island. Basically, you have everything you need to make this paradise. Throw (you quickly discover "Fiji time") in the sound of the waves, the relaxed attitude and the starry nights, and you will never want to leave. You are a million miles from anywhere, and after a day here, which is exactly where you want to be.
to the Yasawa island chain island hopping, I have found that, like nowhere else in the world is in Fiji backpacking. Near the mainland, these islands are popular with backpackers because they achieve cheap, easy, and known for its lively atmosphere. There is only one boat through these islands, and all islands have two or three resorts you can get dropped. The resorts provide all meals, and book all your activities through them. It is packed backpacking. You move from resort to resort as a tour. With the exception of the places focus on budget travel cheap activities, dormitories and cheap beer. No five star luxury here. It is not my normal way of traveling, but has not taken it away from the experience.
While I am a lover of all things tropical, one thing that's hit me really here is the locals. Everyone was friendly and very hospitable. They always say hello, to ask where you're from, you like it here, and with a 20-question style conversation with you. At night, they come and spend time with the guests.
On a clear and balmy night, Gary and I were invited by the staff of the Waya Lai Lai Resort to hang (I stay very recommended) and drinking kava. Kava is the traditional drink of Fiji. Made from the kava root and mixed with water, it has an earthy flavor, and as a mild sedative, it makes the mouth and tongue numb and tingling.
There is a special ceremony is to drink. You must clap before you drink, bula screaming, drinking in a train, and clap three times, when you are done once. Clapping is for the drink out of respect. Drink this every evening and spend the night to relax. Bowls and cups are handed round of kava, and the night that gets started loudly relaxed and calm. She always did when Gary asked Handing out drinks to us, and I wanted to flood or ebb (essentially little or a lot). Until your last drink. Then they will exit with a off "tsunami." Needless to say, I slept well that night.
Although it to be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Fiji is quite accessible. It is a standard stop on around the world tickets. Coming from Australia or New Zealand, you can get an easy stopover flight. I'm not sure why more people do not use it, but if you want at a price of budget travelers easy living in a South Pacific paradise, Fiji make one of your Cross-Pacific stops.
