Three meals a day unnecessary
One dreams of staying on a tropical island and the one we chose was Treasure Island, a short boat-trip from Lautoka. Treasure Island has been unfairly dubbed the island for “newly-weds or nearly-deads," but I am certain that families would enjoy a stay there as it offers
many varieties of entertainment and activities. - . We were advised by our travel agent to take, a package deal which included three meals a day. but unless you are a big eater. I would recommend that you opt for a package that allows an a la carte choice to be made.
After all. who wants to eat a cooked lunch in the middle of a hot day? It is a good idea to jot down in a notebook any additional charges incurred so that they can be checked against the final total on departure. A word of advice: watch out for sword-sellers on the streets of Nandi (and Suva). They work in pairs. While one strikes up a conversation with you. asking your name and where you come from, the other islander is busycarving the information into the wooden sword. They then claim that you are obliged to buy it.
