20050508 Nadi, Fiji

Been staying in the Nadi Bay Resort Hotel the last 2 nights. It’s got air-conditioning and hot showers which are so awesome when you’ve been out on islands without the basics of living. Spent the night after Beachcomber on South Seas Island, an island which you can walk across in under 3 minutes, it was tiny. The crowd there I didn’t like too much, too many unfriendly, noisy English, very nice sunsets though. Decided I’m going to do the Feejee experience on Tuesday with Joe (the Norwegian), a min. 4 day adventure tour around the Fiji mainland. Met up with the 2 Norwegians again in Nadi today, wandered around the town and went for pizza, so gorgeous, it was so huge I couldn’t even finish it, that’s how big it was and ass usual dirt cheap. The locals that live around here are totally different from the islands, they are mainly skinny Indians. The majority of them cab drivers who insist they give you a lift, even if your crossing the road. They just stop wherever they see you and start beeping and saying “I give you good price”, I keep giving them looks like as if they’re crazy but it doesn’t do anything.

I’m sitting at the poolside bar now, it’s 8pm and typing up this journal. One thing you notice is the large number of solo travellers about, particularly females. Across from me are 2 girls sitting at different tables eating alone, I know, I know I should go across and talk to them but apart from the fact I want to finish the last few days entries and pics there not pretty enough, and sorry, I’m superficial. It’s extremely weird meeting good looking semi-interesting/interesting people on a daily basis, not coping well with it right now, it’s too much of a change from home but I’m sure I’ll get into it shortly. Pity the majority of girls I’ve met so far have boyfriends, I don’t know what it is with Scandinavians travelling the world for long periods while they have boyfriends in their home countries. Still loving the life here, sun, sea, sand, beautiful islands people and sunsets.
