Pitcairn Islands (South Pacific Islands)

Advantages: great info, well written, trusted reveiwer
Disadvantages: none

...to be honest ive been to the cook islands last october and this review is so much better than a lot of the guide books, definatley informative, i would put it on par with lonely planet, simply because, lonely planet sometimes gives you too much information, which in some cases is a hindrence, but they are the leaders in such areas. rough guides are also good but this one give you the info needed to have a well informed choice, with great links to the correct sites that would help your stay in the cook islands, its written well by a well informed person, id trust her reveiws on pretty much most things now, having read and taken in what the reveiw says, i would read this before taking another trip to the cook islands....

...My wife and I honeymooned on Castaway Island in Fiji during March 1999. Despite the on-going problems in the country now, I hope that when things are safer to return we will be able to return to this wonderful South Sea paradise. With all of the fantastic scenery and the fab food my lasting memeory is of the Fijian people and their kind and gentle nature. Our time in Fiji was a very special experience that I would recommend to anyone traveling to the area. When visiting the islands there is very little to do other than relax. When you get there, pick up a Fiji beer, take off your shoes and relax into 'Fiji Time'.... Read review

The different culture was brilliant. Public tranport was the type you woule expect in more adventure film, or in the Lilt advert! families, livestock, etc cramped and througherly excellent experience. Some of the scenery, the people were incredibly friendly, and always acknowledged you where ever you went.... 9 1/2 out of 10... Read review
