“Man has always been audacious enough to think beyond the usual. He has always envisioned being a king in a kingdom of his own. In Fiji one does feel like a king as the Fijians would pamper you like no one on the planet would, all the islands are separated from one another giving you absolute privacy. Fiji is a dream place for many, having beautiful aquamarine beaches and sand as white as snow. This place is heaven, even for those who just wish to lay back and do nothing on their vacation! This island nation in the South Pacific Ocean occupies an archipelago of about 322 islands of which 106 are permanently inhabited and there are 522 smaller islets. In fact, the name Fiji is a Tongan version of Viti, the original pronunciation for the island, spread over 426,000 square miles.
The two most important islands are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu – mountainous with peaks up to 1,300 meters – covered with tropical forests. Viti Levu hosts the capital city of Suva, and is home to nearly three-quarters of the population. Geologists believe that Viti Levu has been submerged a number of times, and has been covered by lava and other volcanic material due to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. No wonder then, the terrain of this island is rugged and is roughly divided into equal halves by a north-south mountain range. However, that should not be a cause of worry since these volcanoes now stand dormant.
Fiji has a diverse culture comprising Indian, Chinese, and European traditions. This multicultural society has not been neutralised even by mass tourism. The official language of Fiji remains English; however Fijian and Hindustani are the most spoken tongues thereafter. Due to the diversity in culture that can be seen in Fiji, visitors are encouraged to dress modestly on tours to villages and when attending cultural events, though when in resorts they can dress casually.
Fiji is not for the laidback clan alone, even the sporty ones can try a hand or more, at diving, sailing or even snorkeling. The privacy, the beautiful white sand beaches, and the spectacular views offered in Fiji makes it a fantasy for the newly-weds as it surely accounts for a picture perfect honeymoon.
