Fiji Vacation Day 2
Bula
If I'd woke up for work I'd have been late so I must be running on Fiji time already being that they are an hour behind NZ.
After I slipped myself out of bed I went to the restaurant to order some breakfast and as I enjoyed my breakfast I was able to sit back and relax whilst watching the bbc news. After breakfast I took a 30 minute walk into Nadi and bought some essential items (bottles of water)and then hailed a taxi to take me back to the hotel.
After which I thought i should like to get around town a little more so I hired a scooter for the day and shot thru Nani and on the main route to Denerau only to find out that I was in actual fact on my way to Suva but I didn't care in the slightest I was having way too much fun, screams of joy could be heard as i raced down the road avoiding all the pot holes in the road, the further I got away from Nadi the roads opened up and became really smooth and I was enjoying myself way too much until I realised that I was basically well and truly on my way to Suva by this stage, one marker I passed said 165kms to Suva but I just kept riding as it was way too much fun. As the road drew on it became almost like driving at home so at that point I turned back and came back to the hotel. On arriving I found the true directions to Denerau Island and the reason I had to go was for one reason. On the bus ride from the airport to the hotel after arriving I saw a sign for a Hard Rock Cafe. That was IT, I have a travel tradition, that if there is a Hard Rock Cafe, I GO, no questions asked. But I thought I'd take in the sights of the golf course aswell while there (as a golfer I couldn't but Not) and it is a very scenic course, quite flat so I imagine the layout is none too easy. I optained a course book and score card for future reference as I'd like to play there some day.
Denerau Marina has a mix of NOT being TYPICAL Fiji, it's like crossing some sections of Sylvia Park with Gulf Harbour. After a quick look around the club house i was back on the bike trying to make it back before the rain came tumbling down. I decided to relax for a while at the poolside before taking a ride out to find the pizza place I'd heard my uncle stephen mention but to no avail - i just could not find it. mind you it was difficult as your constantly looking out for the pot holes in the road all-the-time. Then the rain came pouring down....
I ended up getting absolutely saturated, but I was wise to bring my wet weather top, so at least some of me stayed dry. There's a lot of rain still falling from the heavens and the occaisional thunder and lightening but soon i'll be safe under my bottle of Fiji Gold Beer.
