Fiji World Heritage Site.

Pacific Ocean-Fiji-Suva  I had not planned to visit Suva, but was here due to the non event in Tokelau. It rains quite a bit in the capital city and it was no exception during my stay here. Suva does not have a lot to offer as a capital city , but did visit the Fiji Museum which is interesting. 

There was some stamps in the Post office, but not a great selection and no Philatelic sales counter. 

Pacific Ocean-Fiji-Levuka The first capital of Fiji . A Island east of the main Fiji Island. Got here by the once a day flight. It is a charming town and a World Heritage site at that. Really felt I had gone back in time. Stayed in old Colonial Hotel , perhaps the oldest in Fiji. A great island to visit. 

The Post office here was busy and nice to see a local postmark.

Fiji

Pacific Ocean-Fiji-Yanuca Island  It was great to be back here after all these years. Last time in 1983. Same hotel. Fiji was still as welcoming as ever with the famous word "Bula" = Hello everywhere you went. I had seen a lot of Fiji over the years so in one sense all the exploration had been done. Still nice to relax after the long flight from Europe and the busy trip to Christmas Island. 

This Postcard was posted in the main post office in Nadi in Singatoka , which is not too far from the hotel. 

Pacific Ocean-Fiji-Port Denarau  This area is very near Nadi the international airport in Fiji. It is very necessary to stop over in Fiji if you are planning on going to many countries in the Pacific, unless you are flying from Australia or New Zealand. This area had only been developed since the mid 1980s so was new to me. 

There was a Post office in Port Denarau so mailed this here, Even though it has a Nadi postmark.
