We visited the Hindu Sri Siva Subramaniya Swami temple While on a tour near the town of Nadi on the main island of Fiji. This here is a smaller temple near the main temple. We always love the colours used in a Hindu temple.

We loved visiting the Namaka food market near the town of Nadi on the main island of Fiji. Everything was so well displayed, especially the various kinds of fruit.

Start of the garden walk in the Garden of the Sleeping Giant near the town of Nadi on the main island of Fiji. The garden sits at the foothills of the Sabeto Range just 10 minutes drive north of Nadi Airport. The attractive landscaped gardens specialize in Fiji’s native plants as well as housing an impressive collection of orchids, some native. The walk took us past a large lily pond and through native forest.

We loved this flowering Bromelia while walking around in the Garden of the Sleeping Giant near the town of Nadi on the main island of Fiji. The gardens showcase more than a thousand different species of orchids, and even more native flowers and trees covering almost 20 hectares.

We spotted the most awesome orchids while having a stroll through the Garden of the Sleeping Giant near the town of Nadi on the main island of Fiji. It's a botanical garden nestled in the cool shadows of the mountain with the same name. The Garden of the Sleeping Giant is one of the more pleasant discoveries on Fiji. In fact, this garden could well be one of the best kept horticultural secrets in the whole of the South Pacific.
