Hi all,
It’s our second day on the island of Ovalau today. We got up and were served a hearty breakfast by the lady who owns the Mavida Lodge (Papaya, banana and cereal, and then egg and sausages and toast!) before heading out to the Ovalau Watersports (Tourist info etc) to see if we could book a tour of some kind.
It turned out there weren’t any running, so one of the ladies there gave us a good description of where we could walk ourselves.

After a 2 hour delay while they replaced a leaking hydraulic part on the plane we left for Nadi Airport on Fiji at 1.30 am 13th April LA time. We eventually touched down around 11 hours later at 8.30am 15th April Fiji time and set about deciding where we were going to go!
With some help from a lady at the airport we got on a bus to Suva, the capital, and 4 long and sweaty hours later we arrived and checked into our hotel. Our plan was to go buy tickets to get a bus to Levuka the following day, but the bus had taken so long the office was closed. The hotel reception said it would be ok, we could get the bus, just go to the bus station at 4am to catch it….
Hi,
It’s our last night in LA, although we’ve got most of tomorrow here too.
As planned we went to the Griffith Observatory on Saturday, up on the hills above LA. There was a lovely view across town but it was a little cloudy for photos! The observatory was good, there was a variety of sciency things there for Becky to not understand! We watched a couple of spacey shows there too, including a very cheesy demonstration of how to make your own comet.
Hi all,
First post while we’re away. We’ve been in LA for a few days now and have been reasonably busy.
We arrived at our hostel on Tuesday afternoon after an 11 hour flight at around half 5 in the evening (half 1 in the morning UK time!). The flight was OK, originally we weren’t seated together but BA managed to move us (twice!). There were some amazing views from the plane over Hudson Bay and other bits of Canada and the US too.
