I spent 5 days over Christmas with the Stenlunds,
Seares and Kastelers on Denarau on the
west side of the island. We stayed at the Radison
Resort and it was fabulous! I had a hard time
believing it was Christmas, even with the decorations
that were there. That, however, was ok with me as
I think I would have felt a bit homesick if it had
really felt like Christmas.
This was the first time I had seen the Fiji that
you see on the travel posters....white sand &
turquoise water!
I had to take a picture of this because it is so
"Fiji"........an Emergency Phone....with no phone!
This little bird on the black pole is called a kula
bird. They are beautiful. I have seen a few
here in Suva, but there were many more on
the other side of the island. They never get any
bigger than this one.
This guy lit all the torches every evening at the
resort.....definitely not as scary as he looks!
It was fun eating at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was
as close to American food as you get here in Fiji.
Even at that, it was the fijian version of American
food.
These beautiful trees are covered with red
blossoms just in time for Christmas!
Next to the Hard Rock Cafe they had island
dancers. It just seems so strange to see a
Christmas tree behind these islanders!
Here are a few pictures of this beautiful resort.
It had three swimming pools, but better than
that, it is right on a beautiful beach.
The cyclone hit Denarau harder than it did
Suva and they were still cleaning up the
aftermath. There were many tree uprooted
around the resort...especially on the golf course.
