Wednesday, October 17, 2007 - Bus Ride to Lautoka

Lautoka is the second largest city in Fiji and is the major port for the export of sugar. Today I rode the bus into town for provisions and sightseeing. There is not much to see but the public market is the best in all of the South Pacific. Besides the regular tropical fruits and vegetables there were apples from New Zealand and paw paws from Hawaii. Some fruits I did not recognize but bought them to sample. The people are friendly and helpful but not as much so as in the smaller towns like Savusavu.
All else is well onboard and I am slowly getting accustomed to marina life again.
