Taveuni Island solo tours

It is probably already clear that eating is not the main topic of my blogs. But while I was going through the photographs of the last two month in Fiji, I found here and there some images of foods that I usually took when I was either REALLY gluttonous or particularly entertained.

Well, no problem, here are the meal-hights ( or at least the pictures ) from my Fiji-times! Sundays are a traditional Fiji holiday (almost all stores and local eateries are closed), so many homestay groups meet for a cozy luck.

On the first Sunday I was in Labasa, my home made a delicious classical Fiji food called "miti", which consisted of chilled sea bream (probably taken near Vanua Levu), tarot, potato, onion and other vegetables sprinkled in warm, newly brewed coir milks of coconuts ('yes, they made the coir coulis milks crisp from uncooked coconuts while the brew!).

While in Taveuni, I saw cumquat plants everywhere - they seemed mature, so one morning I plucked a few of the plant that grows right next to my Boer. That' probably the reason why I have so many morning and afternoon pictures (it doesn't even feel pain when it' s GORGEOUS - who doesn't want to take pictures of their own morning and of the whole France with a lush rain forest in the foreground?

At Savusavu, Vanua Levu at Copra Shed Captain's Café, where I had a few seafood lunches in the yachting harbour (unbeatable!!!). Although it had no smiles, I realized that moccas and warm coffees often come with a free biscuit in Fiji.... Below is the sumptuous chocolate mocca I had at the Blue Ginger Café in Lautoka, Viti Levu, with mini cakes:):

But it is a good example of a good amount of meal I had during my time in Fiji (especially the meal I had to cook myself - I am NOT at all a cook). In all honesty, I was just stunned Sigatoka, Viti Levu had a geofilter on Snapchat (where the coach just got halted when I thought I'd take my lunch).... had to take a picture of something!

I had an astonishing weekend on Fiji's lush Taveuni Island last weekend. Feeling like I spend a lot of my life just being idle (thanks to the drizzle at the beginning of the week), I'm amazed at how much action I could put in in just seven of them.

These are my favourite attractions from my trip to the Garden Island of Fiji: It was also wonderfully sunshiny, clear and overall perfectly suited for a bath in Taveuni's colourful underwater underworld! Afterwards we had our dinner at the shore of the abandoned island Korolevu.

In Taveuni I spend my first whole full days with a rather long tour along the coast, which was mistakenly called a "walk" (I thought it would be a pleasant one on the shore, but OH, how I had made a mistake.....). To take a lot of photos of me live at the same hour today and in the past.

Here you can find out more about my experiences at Taveuni's International Date Line. And not to forget the spectacular rain forest leaves and the magnificent sea view from the top of the hill... Either way, it should definitely be on the Taveuni Islands itinerary! I' m not sure if it's because today is my last full working days in Taveuni, or because I have two very small planes flying with me planned for the next morning, or because I have no idea exactly where I'll be in a months time from today (well, I have a hunch, but my plan might slightly change).... I just feel a little'out of it' if you know what I mean.

The last supper on Taveuni Island.... I don't want to go! I' ve got to go back to Taveuni Island one day. I have said this before about Lautoka, but under the right conditions I could seriously be living on the island of Taveuni. But unlike many other Fijian areas I have been to, Taveuni has a particularly laid-back atmosphere (which says it all, considering the Fiji period's nationwide prevalence).

This much commotion on the island has been here in my only weekly. I' ve far too much to say, but unfortunately I have to document the rest of my Taveuni quest here until I get to my next stop.... Fiji's second biggest island, VANUA LEVU! In the meantime, please take a look at the following pictures, which show a small part of the varied wildlife of Taveuni Island:

Now it' packing up! In the past years I have written about all these island feelings from my old country house, so it is very something really peculiar for me to experience it first hands! You can be sure the afternoons were not a total wastage - I used to venture into one of the most beautiful touristic sites on Taveuni Island: none other than the International Date Line, the fictional line of longitudes itself we've all been hearing about 180° from the Greenwich meridian in London, to the East or Worldwest ("as you wish").

It was both extreme fascination and overwhelming, it was a little strange to be there at the same moment as before. And I mean, I'm not just in" tomorrow" as well as in" past and present", because today is tomorrows in the past? My cabbie, who was an avid tourist leader, said the International Date Line was moving to Taveuni Island at the turn of the year.

I still can't quite comprehend why the line on a chart seems to twist so much.... Why the Cook Islands, along with some of the Fiji Islands, are throwing themselves into the past, while the overwhelming bulk of the Pacific is today? This is BULA and Hello from the fascinating island of Taveuni, Fiji's third biggest island and otherwise (appropriately) known as'Garden Island of Fiji'!

As Taveuni has proved, Fiji is indeed full of marvellous surprises, and I already know that one day I will return! From Nausori International Airport in Suva I was flying to Taveuni Island (Matei), probably the smallest plane I have ever flown in my world. That was also the nearest thing I came to a rollercoaster trip in a long, long while.

This was incredibly exciting in the strangest but most logical way... At least the journey was fast enough that I didn't have enough to think about being afraid! It was another funny part of this flying to see the front of the aircraft and see what the pilot was planning.... It was a long while (... as in over 15 years) since I was in a battle where I could actually look into the bird.

That co-pilot seemed to have doubled himself as the sole cabin crew member in this small aircraft (which made perfect business when you consider that there really was no room - or space - for an onboard service). Taveuni Island has definitely not been a letdown so far!
