One thing we were not disappointed with was our room. The view above is the kitchen area along with the living room. We each had our own television with DVD player.
This picture was taken from our table at the restaurant at the Hilton. A beautiful hotel and the amenities were wonderful but as you can see, no one was in the water. They told us the water was full of weeds and no one swam. Swimming was done in the pool only.
The pictures above are of the pool and restaurant from the Hilton. A beautiful place to stay but if you want to see tropical waters, they suggest you go to one of the surrounding islands.
As I said earlier, we rented a car for the few days we spent in Fiji. The pictures below show how some people live on Nadi. It was very sad to see. How blessed we are to live in United States of America.
The day we were leaving Nadi, Liz and I drove around the island and did some last minute shopping. While in Port Denarau, we thought we had found a piece of America when we saw a Bonefish restaurant. But, alas, we were going to have to wait a few more hours before we would taste food and drink that we had grown up enjoying.
Port Denarau is where some cruise ships come in and also where you can travel from island to island.
We left this area, returned the rental car and at 10:50 Fiji time, we left the island. We arrived in LA the same day we left, going across the date line. Our vacation of a lifetime was over but the memories will always be with us. We took over 2000 pictures and will never forget one of the best vacations we will ever have. We both would love to return to New Zealand, it's one of the most beautiful places in the world.
