VISIT TO LAUTOKA MARKETS, FIJI

WHEELCHAIR NORMAD FROM DIARY We offered Maroona, a woman employee with a large pizza, a lift to Lautoka, and gained a guided tour of her town. Suvas are largest city and Lautokas second, with lots of industry. We have the Fiji Sugar Refinery, Fiji Distillery, producing Bounty rum, a large saw mill and chip board plant, superphosphate centre and large ports. Richard commented: Everything is available for purchase, in Lautoka, mostly Australian products such as TVs, and vacuum cleaners but at high prices. There arn't many whites around at all. I hate the way they hassled me to buy. The markets were huge, filled with vegetables at below Australian prices. The supermarkets were very small and simple."

@DON434. . . thanks for that fascinating guided tour, quite a few brand of spirits at the distillery. It would have been even more interesting had you toured the inside of the Sugarmill which I believe had been operating since the early days of Colonial rule by the British.
