Fiji

Bula everybody which means Hello
When I just got to Fiji I was supposed to stay in Nadi (where I landed) and rest but instead I booked straight away a 6 night package to go around. So the same day I went to Robinson Cruseau Island. The conditions in this island were a bit precarious (shower consisted in a bucket of water a day) but me and the other people from the package (Emma, Ches and Gareth) enjoyed our stay there as people were very friendly and nice. We had lots of activities to do everyday and if we didn't want to joint them we could always enjoy the beach. The first day we also had the welcome ceremony with Kava (this is the traditional Fiji drink) and from there we became part of the village. After that the Fijians danced for us some typical dances.

Bula a todos que quiere decir Hola
En principio al llegar a Fiji me iba a quedar en Nadi (donde aterrice) para relajarme y preparame para los 10 dias que seguian. Pero estaba tan inquieta que me apunte a una ruta de 6 noches el mismo dia. Asi que el mismo dia me fui a Robinson Cruseau Island. Las condiciones en la isla eran bastante precarias ya que la ducha consistia en un cubo de agua al dia pero realmente fue genial ya que la gente era muy amigable, teniamos diversidad de actividades y los locales nos ofrecieron bailes tradicionales por la noche.


From there we went to a place called Beachouse placed on the Coral Coast. In my opinion that was the best place that I stayed in Fiji during the 10 days. The place was very clean and the scenery was awesome! With beautiful sunsets and an interesting jungle trek.

Despues nos fuimos a otro resort llamado Beachouse, ubicado en la Costa de Coral. Este fue el mejor lugar donde estuve en los 10 dias ya que estaba muy limpio y las vistas eran inmejorables. Las puestas de sol eran una pasada y la caminata por la jungla tambien.

We met lots of people everywhere from places all over the world. Everything was about Fiji time... that means that there is not such a rush like in London. You take everything easy and don't really rush for anything. It's been great the contrast from places as we were able to see from beach resorts to the Rain Forest near the capital (Suva).

Conocimos a mucha gente en todos los hostales y gente de lugares muy distintos. Todo consistia en seguir el tiempo de Fiji que significa tomarse las cosas con calma, sin prisa. No como todos vamos normalmente...
El contraste de los distintos lugares fue grande pero interesante porque no solo se pueden ver las tipicas playas paradisiacas sino tambien jungla y 'rain forest'.

Leaving Home

The time came when I had to leave Girona to go to London. I got ready and the saddest thing to do was to leave once again my family behind... It was a strange mix of feelings as I was very excited for the trip I had to come and a bit sad for leaving my family behind...
Y el momento llego de dejar Girona e ir hacia Londres. Una vez lista para salir se me acumulo una mezcla de sentimientos muy extrana. Estaba muy contenta por la experiencia que tenia por delante pero al mismo tiempo triste por dejar a mi familia, una vez mas, atras...
Anyway once ready I got to London where I tried to see as many friends from there as possible and had a few laughs. I want to take this opportunity to apologise to those that I didn't even have time to say hello...
De todas formas una vez lista llegue a Londres donde aproveche para ver a mis amistades y recorrer algunas de las antes tan frecuentadas zonas londinenses. Por cierto, Melani y Sonia gracias por la compania hasta Paddington me hizo mucha ilusion que estuvierais alli conmigo...

The trip of a lifetime

As most of you know I am about to start my adventurous trip. Last year I decided to go on travelling during six months. The route is going to be around Australasia and Indochina. Many of you have asked me why I have decided of going so far or for so long... and the reason is that I find it a great experience in live and is something I always wanted to do... Being in London is something common going traveling but trust me in Spain is quite uncommon. During the 2 months that I've been in Spain I've felt a bit of a weirdo as people has comunicated how crazy I am for going alone and so far away...

Como muchos de vosotros sabeis este 2006 empiezo mi viaje. El ano pasado decidi dejarlo todo e irme a ver mundo. Voy a estar fuera los proximos 6 meses y voy a ir por Australasia e Indochina. Muchos de vosotros me habeis preguntado porque tan lejos o porque tanto tiempo y la razon es que lo encuentro una experiencia muy positiva para conocerse uno mismo y los que me conoceis bien ya sabeis lo que me gusta viajar... En Londres es algo normal ir de viaje en largas temporadas e incluso ir solo/a pero creedme es algo muy poco comun en Espana.
