To of the stops were not quite worth the effort. The temple was under periodic restoration and mostly closed off. The market was really not anything to write home about. What was interesting was to note the cultural differences between the Suva day before and Lautoka sides of the island. Suva is much more Fijian while Lautoka is a MISB-mash of Fijian, Hindi and Muslim cultures. The whole Lautoka area was preparing to celebrate Diwali which is a traditional Hindu feast.
The trip was only an expensive Taxi service. When I pay for a tour, I expect the person to give me historical information ot the places not take me to the place just to say I went there. I could do that locally for a lot cheeper.
I went on tour to get the historical information about the island. what I got was taxi service. If the people cant give the history of the place they shouldn't be giving tours. call it transportation around the island not a guided tour
Mike our guide knew everything we asked about. He took us for a tour of the market explaining all about the Fijian special fruits and kava. Our tour of the Hindu temple was enlightening! Also time in the Slleping Giants garden was very interesting and relaxing. Mike was very friendly and easy to get on with.
