My first visit (in total four) to Fiji (map) was from the 28th of October 1999 to the 26th of February 2000. Apart from less than two weeks of camping and sleeping in hostels, I always stayed with Fijian families at home in both towns and villages. I was not really interested in any tourist activities, but I always tried to adapt to the local lifestyles as much as possible. On my first visit to Fiji I visited the islands of Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni and Mali. (read more...)
