Where in Fiji would you take Visitors to? 

It is eight to Fiji Marriott Momi Bay or to Likuliku Resort in Malolo.

Famous for the over-water bungalows, just open the room door and step right into the ocean.

What is your favourite place for coffee/pie? 

Nothing beats 28g at Sheraton Fiji Beach Resort; I cannot find words to describe the taste of the pie.

But the good Victorian coffee beans brew the best coffee.

What is your favourite backyard spot? 

Any place shady enough, where I can relax and flex my muscles.

What is one place in Fiji that is on your bucket list? 

The Momi battery historical park in Nadroga.

I have heard about guns but I have not seen them. My friends from the Momi area love to boast about it.
