Images from Fiji, Page-1

After what felt like a marathon of a journey around Australia we had nearly three weeks to spend 'chilling out'on the tropical islands of Fiji - but actually did much more travelling than we bargained for. We began in Nadi on the main island of Viti Levu and travelled down the coral coast to Suva (the capital). After a bit of sight seeing we hoped on a very rundown local ferry to the equally rundown old capital, Levuka. We finally found a touch of paradise and good weather on the tiny island of Caqelai.
