As the ship docked in Suva the Police Band greeted us with lively music. Two fearsome warriors said "Bula" to us as we came down the gangway. We passed many stalls, walked around the town, skirted the food markets and went into a few shops but bought nothing. Many of the shops and the Post Office were closed as it was Fiji's National Day.
Back on the ship we watched a movie called "Dove" about a 17 year old American boy who sailed around the world in a 23 foot boat. When he got to Darwin they featured John Meillon as a builder who employed him as a labourer. The film was more than 20 years old.
We did not depart until 6:30pm and there was no concert.
