Per Pete:
"The closest to paradise I have ever been, yet my first experience with such poverty and third-world conditions. Whether you see it as one or the other, or both, Fiji was a fantastic opportunity to take in the thought of being in the middle of the Pacific. Even with a government coup going on, the people were beyond warm and friendly. Some of the nicest I've met.
My travels on the mainland were limited as I used Nadi as the gateway to the string of islands on the northwestern side, known as the Yasawa Islands. They have a ton of backpacking options and a boat that travels between the islands."
