Bula! We have been back from Fiji for a few days now, where we went to celebrate our one year (!) wedding anniversary (which is technically this Sunday). We stayed at the Radisson Blu resort in Denarau which was very nice, although sometimes a bit slow (1 hour, 40 minute wait for drinks that never showed up and 2 hour wait to get power fixed in our room, anyone?), with friendly service and immaculate gardens. We also took a half day trip to South Sea Island, I would have liked to take a full day trip but Derek wasn't keen as he doesn't swim, in the end he seemed to enjoy it and I definitely would have liked more time there!

Have you ever been to Fiji? It was a completely different holiday for us as we are used to the busy holiday where we go sightseeing, get on trains, walk for hours, and do twenty things in a day, so it was nice to relax and do nothing in Fiji, however there is still so much more of the world I've yet to see and am desperate to see so I'm not sure when I will be back.
