ok so I was wrong. I had a blissful 10 days in Fiji staying in Korotogo a really quaint town on the Coral Coast, on the south coast from Nadi to Suva. Spent a while in the BeacHouse which is a real backpacker hangout. Really chilled place and we had great weather. Met some cool people  a special shout to Johan and Craig. Great days boys! Stayed in Suva for 2 days but nothing much there. Then got the bus back to Nadi with a very very good tan and some gr8 memories! How wrong first impressions can be sometimes!

Flew to Auckland but not seeing NZ as its middle of winter and I am a sun lover! Got a flight straight to Sydney and my chance to see Oz, the ultimate island. Too cold there so its the north and the barrier reef that is the focus for my world island tour. Its hot hot hot here!
