SKR: Goodstay Feliz Telcon Hotel

Image
309 Seogwi-dong, Seogwipo, Jeju Island, South Korea My BFF and I stayed at Goodstay Feliz Telcon Hotel (1*) in Seogwipo. As the name suggests, it's a cosy hotel, albeit a basic one, located not far from where the airport limousine bus drops its passengers. Note that no breakfast is provided by the hotel.

SKR: Seogwipo City Downtown

Image
Jeju Island, South Korea Instead of staying at Jeju City first, my BFF and I went straight to Seogwipo City by taxing the airport limousine bus. The 62 km journey from the airport to Seogwipo KAL Hotel took about an hour and a half, costing  ₩7,000 (~S$6.15)  per person.

HKG-CJU (3h 10m) Airbus 320-200 ETD: 9.15am (GMT + 8)  ETA:  1.25pm (GMT + 9) The next exciting destination that I'm going to present to you is Jeju Island, South Korea, known as one of the New7Wonders of Nature. As I visited the island quite some time back, there has been changes in the flight schedule by Dragonair, which uses KA326 as the flight code for the HKG-CJU sector at the point of writing.

FJI: Fiji Airways FJ361 (Business)

Image
NAN-SIN (9h 55m) Airbus 330-200 ETD: 11.00pm (GMT + 12)  ETA:  4.55am (GMT + 8) Have you ever felt excited and sad at the same time? Well, I actually did. After a week of fun and savouring Fijian hospitality, I felt reluctant to leave the country. However, I also couldn't wait to step into the Business Class cabin of Fiji Airways and enjoy the long-haul flight ahead.

FJI: Nadi International Airport

Image
Queens Road, Nadi, Fiji The last thing to do in the country was to enjoy the airport facilities. At the point of writing, Nadi International Airport is undergoing refurbishment work, so there are less things to see for now. If I'm not mistaken, my BFF and I paid FJD 45.00 (~S$29.75) for a comfortable taxi ride from Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa to the airport.

FJI: Port Denarau

Denarau Island, Fiji Port Denarau surely doesn't sound unfamiliar to those who plan to visit the picturesque islands to the northwest of Viti Levu. However, apart from being the gateway to the outlying islands, the port offers an al fresco shopping and dining experience to visitors.

FJI: Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa

Image
Denarau Island, Fiji Denarau Island, the largest integrated resort in the entire South Pacific, was the last destination during the recent trip to Fiji. You could say I was saving the best for the last by staying at Hilton (5*), but I've got to say that my journey on Taveuni Island was equally exciting. Having been part of the Hilton Honors loyalty programme, I booked the one bedroom beachfront suite for my stay.

We opted to stay at Super 8 (2*), a budget-friendly choice managed by Wyndham Hotels, which offers complimentary breakfast to guests.
