So on Friday, he drives us to the airport and announces that we are heading to Fiji! So all the complaining of early morning flights went out the window when one gets lovely surprises as these.
The flight itself was fairly uneventful. We were on and indirect route via Brisbane before heading to Nadi and when we reached Nadi. There was a taxi pickup and after a 1/2 hr drive, we arrived at the Westin Hotel & Spa Fiji on Denarau island.
As it was a short trip, there wasn't much planned except to relax (and eat). I checked the weather beforehand and it was reported to have thunderstorms and showers for the duration of the stay but there was not a dark cloud in the sky for the whole length of stay! Imagine waking up to waves hitting the beach and friendly cheers of 'Bula' from locals and tourist alike. I am not going to lie - I was a tourist true and true on this trip. I didn't venture out of Denarau, being quite content in staying there and just exploring the other resorts and facilities. ( Westin is under the Starwood Group so we could walk to the adjoining Sheraton Hotel and Sheraton Villas, use their facilities and beaches and just charge all back to our room!)
So after 4 fab days of doing nothing, am blogging from Nadi International Airport. Recharged, revived and rejuvenated. Am already considering heading to Fiji again ( different island next time) - or to Cook Islands. Hey, who knows?
