Fiji

I'm off to Fiji for a couple of weeks, primarily for work (installation of a new radar for the Fiji Meteorological Service). The site for the radar is near Labasa, on the north coast of Vanua Levu, the second largest island in the Fijian group. I will also be taking a few days leave at the end to do some scuba diving. During the holiday part I will be staying on Denarau Island, which is near Nadi. As it is the wet season and the cyclone season, the weather will be play a big part in the result of both these endeavors.
