First a little introduction…

So after 5 flights on a 48 hrs transit, I arrived in the capital, Suva (and then slept for 18hrs straight). I’m working with the WWF the conservation group, not the damn wrestlers! see link right. I work on climate change mainly, but on everything from funding to coral reef surveys to press releases. Typical conservation work – loads of work, little funding or people to do it. But I’m enjoying the exposure of working with a major NGO. Staff are awesome and mainly Indian so roti’s and curries for lunch – Great! Suva is typical tropical 3rd world, hot and dirty and the people are ridiculously friendly; I’m loving it!! Ive only been out of the city once, to Caqalai Island, which the rest of the blog is about…
