Fiji Pictures

I bought a new camera today at the duty free in Auckland, almost identical to my previous beauty. I formerly had a Canon A710IS I now can use as a paperweight and a Canon A720IS. It's almost exactly the same, hopefully it takes pictures just as well. I'm staying a hostel downtown tonight and then depart for Brisbane, Australia tomorrow morning. I tried to get on a flight today to Brisbane but it was full and no stand by so here I am, in the comfort of a broadband connection and a computer with usb capabilities. Here are some pictures from Fiji that I've been meaning to show you.

This was an awesome mountain out of my window on the way from Vancouver to LAX. Below is another one.

Two hours after touching down I found myself at this port getting ready to board the big yellow boat for a tropical paradise.

This was the scene around the big yellow boat when it stopped at each of like 15 stops over the course of 4 hours as it traveled up the set of islands. This one was the busiest though and where I got off, right at the top of the islands.

This was our resort, we all lived in these little huts called "Bures"

Sunset on the beach

The locals use the beach as a road to walk around the island as that one was really hilly. On saturday there were lots of kids doing chores and stuff. Here is one collecting wood.

The pile of beer bottles in the bushes. This would net you a heafty sum at the beer store.

Ahhh...



This is Ollie from England, I hung out with him and his gf alot. This was on one of the first days, he's showing the fruits of our labour. I climbed the tree and got the coconut then we husked it and drank some of the milk and ate it. Totally not worth the effort. It was gross, but fun.

Hibiscus everywhere.

This is a hermit crab race at one of the places. You had to buy one and then you could win a prize if it was the first one out of the outter circle. I made it to semi finals.



Ollie and Emma through a rock.

I stayed here on my final night in the Yasawas. Beachcomber Island, it was SO NICE!!!
