Port of Suva


The amazing marching band - our send off
DVD's were on our minds when we got off the ship at Suva! (Pirated) DVD's (ssshhhhh). After a few wrong turns we surprised ourselves by finding the shop! Woo us. 34 dvd's later and our mission was complete. We'd been given a list of movies to get plus we also got a few extra! Whether they all work is another thing!

Suva isn't the loveliest of cities nor the cheapest, lots of knock off shops selling the same things (sunnies, handbags, perfume etc) plus a few creepy guys walking around the streets with gold jewellery in their hands. They come up to you and show you what's in their hands trying to sell it, check your hands and wrists as it just might be your jewellery they're trying to sell!

They have some handmade markets not far from the ship which we had a look through, morning price lady, and went back to later in the day to make a few purchases. Some skull crushers and eye gaugers anyone?? We bought a couple plus some jewellery. They do like to haggle. One guy had a great line, it's not free but it's reasonable - fair enough.

After a few hours walking around we headed back to the ship, it was time for lunch and a dip in the pool. It's hot!
