What time is it there?!

After a trip back to the airport travel office to book some more hotels (and for Mark’s first ever experience of not having to spell his name for someone after saying it!), we headed into town on the bus. Fiji is proving to be significantly cheaper than our previous stops and the bus journey costs only 70 cents each (about 24p).

Since we have arrived on a Sunday lots of places are closed. Downtown Nadi is also not that big so it doesn’t take us too long to wander around and have a look at all the shops we could have visited if we’d arrived on a weekday! The market here is apparently worth a visit, but on Sunday there are just a few people outside in the street selling pineapples.

Although Nadi is Fiji’s 3rd largest city (pop. 32,000) this is probably largely because it supports the international airport, it still feels like a very small place with many of the shops and cafes obviously aimed at the backpackers who are passing through at the beginning or end of their visit.
