Manu Island - Fiji

Fiji was discovered and made popular by the famous English explorer James Cook (allegedly eaten by Hawaiians).

The islands were colonized by Great Britain in 1874 and granted independence almost 100 years later in 1970.

Nowadays the ethnic Fiji population governs the country. Politically the country is quite unsettled - coups and putsches are a usual thing. Since 2006 the country is again ruled by a military junta but that doesn’t put off the tourists who flock to the islands to experience all the good things it can provide.

Tourism accounts for a hefty lump of Fiji economy. Despite the political turmoil, Fiji is still a desirable destination and attracts tourists from around the world. Fiji day tours are a great way to explore the country.

In just 8 years time the annual tourist stream has almost doubled. In 2000 a little over 294,000 people visited the islands. In 2008 the number reached 585,000 - not bad at all. The biggest interest in Fiji shows tourists from Australia, New Zealand, USA and Great Britain.

Fiji day tours are extremely popular but many people stay longer. The main tourism activities are diving, shark feeding, cannibal cave tour, waterfall treks, ethnic shopping, spa treatment, local cuisine, green tours and many, many more.

Fiji Facts

Capital: Suva
Official Languages: English, Fijian

Map follows:

If you’ve used to urban cycling, you can do this on a bike easily. If you don’t have such experience, better use the Underground.

The London markets tour starts at Portobello Market, W11 2EE. It is open Saturdays from 8 - 6:30. Better get there early. The best way to get to Portobello Market is to take Hammersmith (pink) line to “Notting Hill Gate” and just follow the crowd.

Next in line is Church Street Market, W2 1DY. Open from 8-5. As you finish with Portobello, head to “Ladbroke Grove” stop on the Hammersmith (pink) line and alight “Edgware Road” stop.

Camden Lock Market, 54-56 Camden Lock Place, London, NW1 8AF. All the London markets on this tour are more kind of Antiques / Bric-a-brac stuff. Camden Lock market also has vintage clothing and some food stalls.
Now, this is where it all gets strange (if you don’t have a bicycle). When you’ve finished the Church Street market, back to “Edgware Road” underground stop. Now we need the Bakerloo (brown) line. Take it to “Queen’s Park” (yes, that’s the opposite direction) and change to the London Overground line (orange) and go back to “Camden Road” stop. Alternatively you can take a 3 mile walk along St John’s Wood Road, Prince Albert Rd and Oval Rd through the fine setting of Regen’t Park (I would choose the latter).

Covent Garden Market, South Piazza, WC2E 8BD. Saturday 9 - 6. There are several halls: Market hall, Jubilee and Apple. Check them all! To get to Covent Garden from Camden Lock market, dive into the Underground at “Camden Town”, take the North (black) line to “Leicester Square”.

Piccadilly market, St James’s Church 197 Piccadilly London W1J 9LL. Alas, Saturdays 11 - 6 are mainly for Arts and Crafts. If it’s not your type of thing (although Picadilly on Saturdays is really nice), you need to get there on a Tuesday for Collectibles stalls. To get to Picadilly market from Covent Garden market, go back to “Leicester Square” stop but this time take the Picadilly line (blue) and go to “Picadilly Circus”. It is only one stop, so you might as well follow Henrietta St - Bedford St - Garrick St, Cranbourn St, Coventry St onto Picadilly and straight to St Jame’s Church.

The last spot on this tour is Antiquarius, 131 - 141 King’s Road, SW3 4PW. That’s quite a Posh place with lots of jewellers and antique dealers. It is still unique for its old West London spirit but don’t go there to look for a bargain. The distance from Picadilly market and Antiquarius is more than 3 miles so it is advisable to dive back into “Picadilly Circus” and use the same Picadilly line (blue) to get to “South Kensington” stop. That’s the closest you get. Then embrace a long walk down Onslow square, Sydney St and turn left on King’s Road.
