Grass Courts in Fiji
"180 Degrees of Separation"
Taveuni, Fiji, is one of the few places on earth where the 180th meridian — the geographical opposite of the prime meridian — crosses land. This third-largest of the Fijian islands also happens to border the Somosomo Strait, one of the world's great scuba destinations.
If you're staying at the Garden Island Resort dive lodge, you'll be just a 10-minute walk from a simple sign marking a point exactly 180 degrees and 12 hours away from Greenwich Mean Time. While the resort has no tennis courts of its own, the staff can arrange excursions to nearby Taveuni Estates, a vacation home development with three grass courts and one hard-surface court open by reservation to non-residents.
