It is more like 'why hurry' and this describes the slow, easy pace of life in the Fiji Islands. For those seeking a more scientific description, the Fiji Islands is the place where time begins each day and the country is 12 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. What to Wear Fiji enjoys a tropical climate - especially noticeable in the hotter, humid summer months of November-March, so you will be able to travel light! That includes shirts with short sleeves, shorts, skirts, bathing suits, open-toed shoes, etc. Reef-walkers are great for protecting your feet if you are exploring exposed reefs at low tide. And don't forget a hat! Depending on where you are staying, you may like to bring some dressier (but lightweight!) clothes for the evening. During the popular winter season (which is high season in Fiji), it is less humid and some travellers can even feel a little cool in the evening, so a lightweight jacket or sweater is handy. To avoid embarrassing and offending the local Fijian people, visitors should dress modestly when in town, keeping brief clothing for the beaches and resorts. If in doubt about what is acceptable, ask your resort or hotel. This is especially important if you visit a local Fijian village. Water The tap water in Fiji is generally safe although it may be advisable to boil water before drinking. Bottles of drinking water are sold at most stores and hotels in the country. There are local brands available including Fiji Natural Water. http://www.fijiwater.com Medical Facilities Should you require the services of a Doctor while visiting the Fiji Islands there is a variety of public and private medical services available in most major centres and your Hotel can assist you at anytime should you require medical attention. |
