Time's fun when you're having flies!

Before you know it, a month passes and soon it will be Christmas. That's what it seems like.
It has been a hectic 4 or is it 5 weeks.
I had an opportunity to go the Fiji to cover three weddings on three islands. I went with a mate of mine - Steve. We were never been known as wedding photographers but we try. Well there is always the first time.
There is no shortage of rain in Fiji. I prayed that the rain clouds would drifted a little farther south to Australia where we need water most. None the less, It took me 3 days before I realised that I can actually have a nice long shower!
Day one - The Treasure Island Resort.
We were greeted Fijian Bula style with the guitar serenade by the staff of the resort. Every Bure (hut or chalet) faces the ocean. This resort is ideal for those who wishes for nothing but the tranquility of the sand, sea and sky. You are void of worldly news and all there is to do is to chill out. What a life! There is a quaint chapel - frequented by numerous weddings. The local fauna is a little chook (chicken-like bird) that scampers around the island.
Day two - The Lomani Resort
This is a adults only resort. Romance is the flavour of the place. Love is always in the air.
Lomani is one of three resorts on a large island. The other two resorts are The Plantation (for families) and The Musket Cove.
Day three - Sheraton Denarau
There is a chapel at the promontory of this resort. This place has every thing you would expect from a 5-star hotel.
Day four - Nadi
On our last day, Nadi flooded. We got into a cab and asked to be driven to all the flooded areas. Quite exciting really.
Soon we were on a plane heading back to Melbourne. Time flies indeed when fun is involved. More images are available (click on image below,)
