Fiji Time
We flew through the night as Japanese time turned into Fiji time at some point, probably as I fell into a slumber around 3 hours into the flight from Tokyo, and did not want to wake up. Already the pace was changing. Fiji Airways a little more disorganised as an airline than BA but they got there eventually with their service, and it was done with good humour and kindness. A bit of serious turbulence probably also put me off turning the flight into anything other than a functional experience. Subsequent research shows Japan and crossing the equator two of the big turbulence hotspots so was a double whammy today. Loved the touch as we pulled into Nadi airport as the final words of the Steward were ' Welcome to our Home'. Not that far from Australia, somewhere I still feel a spiritual second home after my year backpacking out there and subsequent return visits. Would have been nice to have worked that in to this trip as many friends and family in...
