If you like the sky best when it's grey with plenty of showers, and if you can't get through a week without your daily dip in the ice cold sea weed in Oeresund - don't go to Fiji! Here the beaches are as long as the Danish winter and the water as crystal clear as the sky above.

Spread out in the Pacific Ocean Fiji consists of about 300 islands. The Fijian people have a history of cannibalism, ending several European missionaries crusades in a steaming pot. Today Fiji is part of Common Wealth, so "man curry" and "fried human fingers" have been replaced with the more civilized "curry chicken" and "fish fingers".

Our tour guide (Laerke) had made a throrough study of the 300 islands and chosen Nacula as our main destination during our 6 day visit. After arriving in Nadi International Airport we went to the harbour and took a 4,5 hours ferry ride to Oarsman's Bay on Nacula. Here we were welcomed by a local band of singing cannibals and a bounty beach setting, which almost made us cry of joy. We spent the next 4 days snorkeling, enjoying the sun, playing with hermit crabs and reading in hammocks, and were only eaten by mosquitoes...

After 4 days our skin could take no more of the harch sun, so we returned to the main island. Here we spent a day in Nadi, a larger city/town, where we looked at some interesting shops, selling stuff quite different from what we find back home. In the evening we were entertained by a local dancing group performing a Polynesian dance show consisting of the always succesful combination of fire, sharp knives and pretty hula girls.

By the way... Bula means the same as Aloha, Hola, G'day mate and the American How r ya man.
