Well I'm home from Fiji and what an awesome holiday. Plenty of rest and relaxation! The wedding I went over to shoot was just stunning, althought THE hottest day of our trip. The humidity was a killer. Carrying around 5kg of camera gear in it wasn't pleasant, but the rain arrived to cool everyone down. Thank. God.
The few days prior were spent relaxing, checking things out and the swim-up-bar-pool, which is always a winner with everyone. Especially 'happy hour'
We had booked in to do a jet-ski ride out to the islands to snokel but that was cancelled due to heavy rain, that litterally bucketed down for the last few days we were there, which in turn flooded us in at our resort. The day we left we had to be helicoptered to the airport at a nice little fee of $FJD170, but with the refund on the jet-ski's at least we got to ride in something. The view from up there was fantastic.
The airport was not pleasant tho, the plane had engine troubles, which resulted in a 21 hour stay at the airport terminal. But all in all what a great break away, I'm happy with the shots I got of the wedding and the company was great.
To be honest though, now that I've been, I wouldn't rush back in a hurry. Unless there was another wedding to go too! I've seen it now, beautiful and relaxing, but I'd choose Bali anyday.
Next stop - 4 weeks to go until I'm P&O cruising.....stay tuned for all my 2012 travels.
