Skipping Fiji

Due to the (military coup) circumstances in Fiji we decided to skip our trip to Fiji. Because of the coup there is a high risk in Suva, the capital of Fiji and an increasing risk in the rest of the country. Off course all the travel agencies said it is so save, they would even send their own mother to Fiji. Perhaps they all got confused and ment their mother-in-law instead ;-)

For more info about the (save) travel conditions in any country you can check www.travelsafe.co.nz or for all the dutchies out there: www.anvr.nl

We will now leave Auckland on the 9th of January to the Cook Islands. We will cross the dateline during our flight. What a big fat jet lag that will be! This means that when we get on the plane in NZ the local time is 12 hours later then in the Netherlands, and when we get of the plane in the Cook it’s 12 hours earlier. So we will relive the 9thof January. But there will be plenty of time to rest, chill and go surfing on the beaches of Rarotonga. Can’t wait…
