MY MOST RECENT OVERSEAS HOLIDAY

16 July

So, my most recent holiday was in Fiji. I had 4 weeks off from work.

I have always wanted to go to Fiji. I was chatting to my parents, and they asked if they could also come. Of course, I didn’t mind! We had separate rooms, and although I said I didn’t want to “spend every waking minute” with them, we did spend a lot of time together! It was nice to have the company.

We stayed at the Hilton on Denarau Island. And it was warm! About 24-27°C and sunny.

I have not been overseas much, only twice before Fiji. Once to Vanuatu on a cruise, and once to China on a 1-month tour with my parents. I will do another blog at a later date on my China trip.

I just wanted a relaxing holiday this time! Reading, swimming and RELAXING. Which is exactly what we did. My parents had a room with a kitchen, so we had dinner there most nights. We had a BBQ, and pizza, and then we went to the restaurant the last night.

A buffet breakfast was included, so we mainly had fruit for lunch or a sandwich we bought at the resort Deli.

After breakfast, we all went to the pool with our books. We would swim and read. Mostly we went to the adults-only pool! I often spent a bit longer at the pool than my parents. I even did aqua aerobics two mornings!

Afternoons we didn’t do much. I would go back for happy hour in the late afternoon. Mainly reading, and some more swimming.

One afternoon we all went for a “cruise”. It was to see the outer Fiji Islands where they would drop people off for their holidays at the outer Islands! It was a 3 hour trip.We even saw the Island where they filmed “Survivor” aka Mamanuca Islands
