After our experience at Lautoka, we debated whether we wanted to get off the ship and walk around. The clouds were hanging low and there were occasional showers that washed through. We had heard from other passengers, their friends descriptions of what Suva was like. So, we decided to stay on the ship and do laundry. We heard later that night from another couple that as soon as they walked out the port gate, they were surrounded by people that kept trying to get them to buy their trinkets or begging for money all the way to the market area two blocks away, then all the way back when they left the market. The stuff in the market was all junk from their description. So, we were happy with our decision to stay on the boat.
