FJI: Fiji Link FJ120 (Economy)

Image
TVU-NAN (1h 25m) De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter ETD: 8.50am (GMT + 12)  ETA: 10.15 am (GMT + 12) One of the staff of Aroha Taveuni drove us from the resort to Matei Airport. Along the way, we talked about many different things, from tourism to education. He also politely asked my BFF and me whether we'd like the air-conditioning of the car to be switched off in order for us to enjoy the fresh air from outside.

FJI: Rainbow Reef

Image
Somosomo Strait, Taveuni,  Fiji Before I begin, I'd like to apologise that this particular entry is going to have very few pictures, unlike what we all have seen so far. The Rainbow Reef, situated at the Somosomo Strait between the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni, is said to be one of the top ten diving and snorkeling spots in the world.

FJI: Lavena Coastal Walk

Image
Eastern Area,  Taveuni, Fiji Adventure tours can be easily booked at Aroha Taveuni , which does not take any commissions at all. That was what I exactly did when I reached the resort. Within less than an hour after arrival, my BFF and I found ourselves seated comfortably in a car to go to Lavena Coastal Walk on the eastern end of the island.

FJI: International Date Line

Image
Government Station Road, Taveuni, Fiji Pikachu and Melon were less than 2 m apart, but they were separated by 24 hours. Today, I shall talk about the real International Date Line (IDL) that passes through Taveuni in Fiji. The currently established line actually skirts around Fiji rather than following the actual 180th meridian to avoid having two abruptly different zones within the country.

FJI: Aroha Taveuni

Image
South Coast Road, Waiyevo, Taveuni, Fiji Having requested for an airport pick-up earlier, my BFF and I met the friendly male owner who drove us to the resort. The moment I stepped into the compound, I fell in love with Aroha Taveuni (3*), a highly rated accommodation in Fiji's third largest island. Featuring a total of only five rooms in two beachfront bures, it certainly is the perfect sanctuary to unwind and forget about all your worries.

NAN-TVU (1h 25m) De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter ETD: 7.00am (GMT + 12)  ETA:  8.25am (GMT + 12) After a good nap at Nadi Airport Transit Hotel, my BFF and I were ready to go to the domestic section of the airport for our flight to Taveuni with Fiji Link. I was so excited as that'd be my very first time flying on a propeller plane, the DHC-6 Twin Otter to be exact.
