Fiji: tips for travellers

(Backdated entry. Written in December 2012) As I write this, a huge storm: cyclone Evan is battling through Fiji, after having destroyed a lot of places in Samoa. Storms and floods affected Fiji the previous year and it really saddens me to see this happen again, as the people in Fiji really are not as well off as those in the Western world.   Throughout my time in...

Flashpacking in Fiji at the Blue Lagoon Beach Resort

Fiji is often looked at as a bit of a paradise island. Somewhere that honeymooners would go, or families from neighbouring countries such as Australia and New Zealand. As I was living in Christchurch, and it was approaching Winter, I felt that I needed a dose of sun, and researched into getting myself to Fiji. I got some cheap flights, thanks to Air New...

Country 52: Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 We (@chrisjphotography and I)finally made it to the little city of Mostar, after toying with the idea of crossing on our previous trips to Croatia and Montenegro over the past few years. It is much smaller than I imagined. The old town is pretty, but quite touristic though still has a lot of charm. The river Neretva flows through at a fast pace and is as blue as in this photo. There are still a lot of signs of the war and you can get a lowdown on the history in the museums. The food feels similar to that in Greece or Turkey, so I was happy. Overall, a cute little place. I’d happily return here or to other places in the country. #welcometobosnia #visitbosnia #ok_europe #topeuropephoto #wheretofindme #travellingpost #shesnotlost #postcardplaces #starimost #mostar #visitmostar #travel
Do you know the muffin man? What about the Gingerbread man? Stumbled upon Gostilna Lectar in Radovljica, Slovenia 🇸🇮 a few months ago. It’s an old house with a gingerbread museum, restaurant and a place to stay. You can take a little tour, see how they make gingerbread as well as have a go yourself at one of the workshops. I’ve written about it on my latest blogs 👨🏽‍🍳❤️🏠 📸: @chrisjphotography #ifeelslovenia #topsloveniaphoto #centralslovenia #mytinyatlas #travellingpost #wheretofindme #postcardplaces #ig_europe #discoverunder2k #travelblogger #nazdravje #shesnotlost #gingerbreadhouse #radovljica #slovenia
I am loving this extended Easter break I am having. Made all the more lovelier by having this gorgeous weather and my parents @niwhite and @dexteroninsta visiting 💕 it has been filled with long walks, castles, picnics, quaint tea rooms and the beach! . . . . . . . . . . . . #easterholidays #family #springbreak #sunnysussexbythesea #ig_sussex #sussexbloggers #hertsmonceux #visitengland #lovegreatbritain #ukpotd #wheretofindme #postcardplaces

So sad to hear about the fire at the #NotreDame Cathedral. It’s such a beautiful and treasured building that has been part of French history for centuries. I’ve seen this building many times on visits to @paris most recently with @chrisjphotography on our mini moon last March. I do hope it can be restored! #parisjtaime #thisisparis 🇫🇷
Just chilling as it’s Friday. Had a rare day off today, and it’s been lovely. Going to the gym when it’s not busy, doing the food shop and getting to visit pretty places like Knole Park, one of the @nationaltrust places not far from where we live. It was rather chilly, but we explored the grounds and house, had a delightful cream tea, and were about to go home, but then we spotted a ton of deer just roaming right next to the car park. So couldn’t help but capture a few of them. This one looks a wee bit moody don’t you think? 🦌 #NationalTrust #KnolePark
Loving this extra light we are having now that the clocks have changed. Looking forward to warmer days and lazy walks on the beach with ice cream. What are your summer plans? 📸: Cave Greco, (the blue lagoon or Cyprus 🇨🇾) #visitcyprus #cyprus #capegreco #bluelagoon
Ljubljana, the country that is as hard to spell as it is to pronounce 🇸🇮 This city is one of the most greenest and cleanest I have visited in Europe 🌿 The city centre is pedestrian only, with a little electric cart (or taxis) which are free to use. The many bridges reminded me a little of Cambridge in England. We had a short time there, so joined in with the @ljubljana_free_tour and glad we did. There is so much history, and there was plenty of liquor being handed out, both honey 🍯 as central Slovenia is known for its bee keeping, as well as blueberry! Na Zdravje (Cheers!) 🥃 #visitljubljana #slovenia
