Lautoka on the island of Viti Levu is a little port with just one berth for the ship, so we were waiting for the other ship to sail out. Nice view of the mountains from the deck. It is only 10 min walk from the pirt to the town, but those from the ship offer shuttle for 15 USD. Shame!
A crowd of tour providers were waiting on the shore – average their tour is 3 times cheaper than those from the ship…
Friendy locals greet you -Bula! if you walk to the center. On Sunday the big market is closed but there are still stalls with exotic wegetables and flowers on the sidewalks around it. I like to meet locals, what a day!
There are in the theory 3 free wi-fi networks in the center of Lautoka but no chance to connect. What I advise: Any western union money changer will give you access code regardless how many you will change. But this network works only near their offices. Much better is to pay 7 Fiji dollars for the SIM at DIGITEL – it will come with 7GB data transfer valid 7 days – thats what I use…
