We landed at Nadi at morning time after a sleepless night, the flight was OK with Air new Zealand and took us 3 hours to get there. Since we arrived we ran into so many travel agents at the airport, every one of them wanted to sell a package tour to the touristic islands, we suddenly felt like we came back to India (India lite actually), we just wanted to get some sleep in our pre-booked hotel and that took us ages to get there. the heat and the humidity were so exhausting. The travel agent that was suppose to help us get to our hotel tried to rip us off as well. Eventually we crashed into our beds at 13:30 - 3.5 hours after we landed, good example to experience the meaning of "Fiji Time".
At the second day, we decided to allocate our time to arrangements and adjustment here at Nadi, We changed our money to Fijian Dollars, did some shopping and also were invited to drink their traditional Kava drink (mixed grounded Kava roots with water) with all the ceremony that comes with it, it tasted terrible but the cermony (clapping hands and saying BULA-Hello) was nice.
The local market was the only authentic sight we got to see in this busy town, the pineapple was great, we really missed that wonderful fruit from our happy days in Thailand.
When we left Nadi we were involved with a car accident. We took a ride with another 2 English guys we met and in a near by city some local guy bump their rental car from behind while we were in it, everybody went out of it OK and the only damage was to the car. It was the "nicest" car accident we ever had, the local Fijian guy smiled and apologised all the time, probably this is how thing goes here in Fiji.
The car after got hit: with Roger and Grahm
Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
