Fran's Backpack - Lonely Planet Fiji


Fran's Backpack brings to you various products on travel, adventure, flying and photography.

They could be books, ebooks, videos, or gear. Check each one out as it's highlighted on the day.

Today's item in the Backpack is Lonely Planet Fiji (Country Guide) [Paperback].

I've been to Fiji twice. Both times have been different but beautiful in their own ways.

The first time was touring by hire car and this way gave freedom to go to the villages in the countryside and not just sightsee, or shop, around the main towns. The people are just so friendly and that's part of the attraction. The hotel offered heaps of different activities - tennis, golf, deep sea fishing, shore fishing (caught a few poor souls and threw them back), and had my first try at a Fun Tiger catamaran. Not bad for a person that's more at home in the air than on the water.

The second time was to go on a cruise through the Yasawa Islands. Now that's a tropical Paradise. The ship cruised at night mostly and then stopped off at the various islands to explore, meet the people, go for walks, do activities like snorkelling and wind surfing, or just laze around on the beaches with picture post card views. The water is crystal clear and stunning shades of blue and green. Keeping track of the days was a bit hard though because the cruise took people away from their everyday hustle and bustle. Food for the soul.

Fiji - another recommended place to travel to.
