FIGI, the islands to get lost on.

Fiji may be getting a slightly bad rap at the moment, due to the military government. But it has been, and is a bloodless coup-De-tar, and is still regarded safer to travel to than Thailand. So here's a big reminder about how fun / low cost / and adventurous a trip to Fiji can be.  Fiji travel is the most popular of the South Pacific tourist destinations. With 330 islands, there’s no shortage of places to visit. The largest island is Viti"> Levu , home to almost three quarters of the countries 850,000 population.  On the sunny west coast is the tourist centre of Nadi with the international airport and gateway to the islands commercial tourist destination, the Mamanuca Islands and the backpacker hotspot of the Yasawa Islands.

Taveuni is know as the 'Garden Island of Fiji', it is the only place in the world that the flower the "Taveuni Rose" will grow, located in the 'Friendly North" is located 7 kilometres off of Vanua Levu. It is well known for it flora and fauna is a popular destination for many travellers and tourists. The island is approximately 10 kilometers wide and 25 kilometers long and has some of the most fertile land in Fiji. Due to the topography Taveuni offers a great deal of things to do for that active vacation. It is a place where travellers go to spend that special vacation or holiday in Taveuni's lush green rainforests. As you can see from the map another feature of the island is that the international dateline cuts the island, you can jump back to yesterday.
