Fiji has landed

After what was one very very long journey, I’ve made it to Fiji. Here’s a lovely photo of the plane I was on at 5am this morning. 

Then had a lovely greeting from this band. 

It being a lovely morning, I decided to walk from the airport to my hostel. A journey of just under two hours. The Fiji people are very lovely and kept offering me free lifts to my hostel but I wanted to stretch my leg so politely refused. However it turns out a couple of those people actually work at the hostel so the hostel staff now call me “the guy that walked from the airport”. They find it hysterical. 

It was then time for a coffee on the beach with Dylan. 

After that and a long overdue shower, we went to the local port to book an island trip in a couple of days time for 5 days. There we had some local Fijian food. This was a Spanish mackerel, somewhat ironically found in the waters near here. 

Then it was back to the hostel for a much needed beer and dip in the pool. 

I’m sure the tiredness will catch up with me this evening so I think it’ll be an early one.
