Fiji Village Life – Easy In Some Ways, Harder in Others
Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 19 May 2010
Throughout my trip to Fiji, one thing I found quite striking is the importance of Fiji Village Life. You will undoubtedly pass through numerous villages throughout Fiji when you get out and about. There is a large difference between where you stay at your resort, and Fiji Village Life. Some places don’t have electricity or running [...]Fiji Village Life – Easy In Some Ways, Harder in Others is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel

Cannibal Stories From Fiji
Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 14 May 2010
Cannibal Stories are something local Fijians like to talk/joke about with visitors. The first Europeans who came across them described Fijians as fierce warriors and Cannibals (who would love to have you over for dinner!). In fact, Fiji was nicknamed the Cannibal Isles for a long time. But luckily for me, Cannibalism is long gone from Fiji. The [...]Cannibal Stories From Fiji is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel - The Travel Tart

Coconut Husking and Cracking – The Fijian Way
Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 7 May 2010
Coconuts are an essential part of the diet in Fiji. You’ll see entire coastlines covered in them, and Coconut fringed beaches are a cliché of paradise! Like this shot I took! Obviously, Coconut Husking and Coconut Cracking are essential processes to extract the Coconut Milk and Meat for use as food, drink or in cooking. But at [...]Coconut Husking and Cracking – The Fijian Way is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel - The Travel Tart

Underground Food and Cooking in Fiji
Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 5 May 2010
The lovo is the Fijian equivalent of Underground Food, and literally means ‘earth oven’. Here is an example which you can see at the Arts Village at Pacific Harbour: Underground Food and Cooking is found in different cultures, from the South Pacific to North America. The concept is the same – burying meat and vegetables underground with [...]Underground Food and Cooking in Fiji is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel - The Travel Tart

Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 4 May 2010
One thing that I heard repeatedly about Fiji before I got there is that it’s a great place for a Holiday For Kids. Families are just one market that is catered for very well here, but Fiji has something for everyone. I can see why hordes of families have their holiday in Fiji – and they’re often [...]Holiday For Kids – Fiji is a Great Option is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel - The Travel Tart

Mongoose vs Snake in Fiji – unfortunately, Mongoose Wins
Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 27 April 2010
Mongoose vs Snake is one of the classic face offs in the animal kingdom. This scenario happens most often in Africa, where the Mongoose is a native species. But when the Mongoose is introduced to an environment where there are no predators, there was always going to be a catastrophe for the native wildlife. Just like the [...]Mongoose vs Snake in Fiji – unfortunately, Mongoose Wins is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel - The Travel Ta

Jet Ski Tours and Safaris are a good excuse to drag yourself away from the resort you’re staying in Fiji, and get out and about to experience the natural beauty of this great Pacific Island nation.

National Maximum Speed Limit in Fiji
Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 16 April 2010
The National Maximum Speed Limit in Fiji is 80 km/hour, or around 50 miles per hour. Everything is so laid back and relaxed in Fiji – including the National Maximum Speed Limit! There are no freeways in Fiji – just the odd overtaking lane here and there. The driving is also laid back, and I’d have no [...]National Maximum Speed Limit in Fiji is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel - The Travel Tart

Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 7 April 2010
Carrying The Cross is something most Christians are familiar with at Easter time. Most westerners are used to someone Carrying The Cross a short distance down the church aisle on Good Friday. But in Fiji, they do it a bit differently. They Carry The Cross for about 200 kilometres in about a week. The cross is carried [...]Carrying The Cross at Easter – Fiji Style is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel - The Travel Tart

PhotoFriday – Family travel to Fiji
Blog: Sophie's World - 12 March 2010
Back in 2003, while on parental leave (a year off work with 80 % pay - a great Scandinavian employee right), the girls and I lived in New Zealand for 6 months.
