Well I'm back from a week in Fiji, so as usual I'll put up a few pics, mostly aviation related. ;)
Quick trip report:
Flew to AKL from WLG. We were booked on the '11am' Qantas flight, delayed by 2 hours as usual. We decided to not risk anymore delays due to our connecting flight in AKL so transferred to the 1pm ANZ flight. Flew up (on time) on -SJB.

Had ages to kill at AKL airport in the end before our 5pm Air Pacific Flight to Nadi. Finally boarded on time and departed in their sole 737-700, DQ-FJF. Took no photos that flight as the camera battery died.. :(
Stayed at a hotel on the mainland for one night before some shopping in Nadi the next morning. Here's a few pics from Nadi:

That afternoon we headed out to Nadi Airport for our 3pm Sunair flight to Malololailai delayed until 5pm. We flew in two Islanders, DQ-FIN and DQ-FCX.
Here are some shots from the short 12 minute hop: (Excuse the dirty window)

Well here are the rest :D
This was as we were walking to our 'bure' from the airstrip, along the beach of course!

Looking back the other way (it was low tide which is why there was mudflats):

The late afternoon light from our bure:

I took this standing by the front door, we were fantastically close to the beach:

This was beautiful. I forgot to take a decent photo of it- they took it away and put it in a hangar the next day.

One afternoon we had a bit of a sailing race. My boat beat dad's of course :D

I took no more on the actual holiday, just some of the airstrip the morning we left (last Saturday). Excuse the quality of some of them. We'd had a good night the night before.
Looking down the airstrip:

We all flew in -FIN this time, they did two trips.

This is about the time my headache got a lot worse.

Enough room to swing a baby mouse in here!

We did end up flying in a UA 744 rather than an Air Pacific one. The UA one was called Bob..

At Least I got seat 2A in -JNB on the way home! :D
