| DINING:
|
GETTING AROUND:
- Taxi's are every where.
- A fleet of white Toyota vans picks up people at bus stops for a
small fare.
- Rental Cars. I went to Budget and found that they didn't
have any of the cheaper cars they advertised. Car I ended up
with cost $80 (US) a day with unlimited mileage. It was in
good shape, but not worth the price.
- Walking. It isn't very hilly and it is less than 10
Kilometers from downtown all the way to the airport. West
Motor Inn is about half way.

| INTERNET CAFES:
There are lots of internet cafes in and around Nadi
Noveix Micorsystems

| TIME ZONES:

WHAT'S GOOD:
