Introduction

F I J I

Sunny skies, swaying coconut palms casting long shadows on sandy shores teasingly lapped by aquamarine waters, sails billowing in the gentle breeze, boats coming in laden with fresh sea bounty and long, cool drinks served by smiling islanders happy to have guests over - all that and much more is on offer in the Fiji islands. Pleasure seekers, lotus - eaters and those with wanderlust in their blood alike head out to the Republic of Fiji - a tropical paradise of three hundred islands in the mid South Pacific. 

A Fijian beauty
The aquamarine waters of Fiji

A melting pot of many Pacific and Asian cultures, it reflects the laid back, easy-going nature and holiday ambience of the Pacific Islands. Well connected by international airlines, Fiji has a superb tourist infrastructure and is the perfect pleasure trip for snorkellers, scuba divers, swimmers and beach bums. Great food, a warm and friendly people and weather designed to please even the most difficult - add to that sun, sand and sea and its an all time unbeatable combination.

Fiji was - until the May 2000 political crisis - the prime destination for Pacific bound tourists. There has been a hiatus in the life of the Fijians with one political crisis leading onto another. Hostage taking had become quite fashionable, fortunately, the favourite targets were politicians and not holidaymakers! The worst seems to be over and the nation is once again readying itself to receive visitors.
                                       
                                        Bula! Welcome to Fiji.
