Approaching Oarsman's Bay
On our way to the Yasawa islands
Wow. Where do we start. You know all those holiday brochures with turqoise water on them? Well, we would say most of them are shot in and around Fiji.
We escaped mainland by ferry the day we got to Nadi (pronounced Nandy). The Yasawa Flyer to Nacula took more than five hours but it was well worth it.
We stayed in a beach bungalow, a so called bure, at Oarsman's Bay for six nights. It was relaxation at its finest. The resort itself is tucked away under the palmtrees in the most northern part of the Yasawa island group. The Blue Lagoon - the old movie starring Brooke Shields et al. - was shot right next to where we lived. If that wasn't a voucher enough, see the photos. It was as close to paradise as we have been so far. It really felt like being in the middle of nowhere, despite the three course dinners and cava ceremonies held during the evenings.
