Welcome to the Pacific IslandsOriginally Posted by phrenicnerve
My trip from Nadi to Savusavu Fiji was hair raising. It was raining when we got on the plane and that rain water was leaking through the roof.
The descent into Savusavu was completely an Indiana Jones type of moment!
I was getting a flight from Gizo to Honiara in The Solomon Islands a few years ago when we were told the plane was over weight and a few bags would have to be left behind. As we were connecting to an international flight our bags stayed on and some of the locals were punted. The only worry was our bags were weighed with my mates toe uder the scales to keep the weight down. They got down to an agreeable weight for the plane and pilot but we were still ****ting bricks on take off knowing there was an extra couple hundred kilos that they never knew about. That plane lumbered down the old grass strip and was very close to the end of the island when it took off much to all on boards relief.
