Hi Gerald It has been some time since I was last in Fiji, but I can heartily recommend it. The main islands are not as interesting as the outer islands. The highlands of the main islands have some grandeur, but the smaller islands are spectacular in the extreme, particularly if you dive. I spent most of my time at Mana Isl which is out of Nadi (the airport town) by ferry. There are any number of other options open to you, but above all, befriend the NATIVE Fijians and you will experience some of life's most beautiful people and if you ask nicely, you may get to visit their home islands (not normally open to tourists). When you come back, we will expect to see a website on the trip? I couldn't help taking over a thousand photo's in 2 weeks. Most were good enough to keep. Photographic shopping was pretty good when I was there too. All the best Col - -- Colin Sheehan Cooran, Qld.
