We are on a mooring at the Copra Shed Marina and Yacht Club
in Savusavu.
Our friends on ELFRUN
helped with the inbound reservations and had us over for dinner our first night
so that Booker didn’t have to cook.
Clearing
in was efficient and Customs, Immigration, Health, and Biosecurity all came to
the boat.
The front that we sailed
through has now moved over Northern Fiji so we are
getting drenched.

Savusavu is nothing like we expected.
It’s not a commercial port, it’s not a
tourist village.
It kind of reminds me
of a small Central American coast town.
Town
is a main road about 8 blocks long.
The
population is Fijian and Indian.
We
walked town in the rain and explored the shops.
Very well stocked stores.
We hit the ATM, bought a $2 Vodaphone SIM chip and a 2G data
package for $12 to get us connected to the internet, and had a great Indian
curry lunch for $2.50 each.
The Waitui Marina has a Fijian Buffet on Wednesday and an
Indian Buffet on Sunday for dinner. We
went there for an incredible meal for $5 each.
A liter of beer is $2.50. The
prices here are as good as Mexico
and the food also has such good flavors and spices. It is so nice to be back to a 3rd world
country that doesn’t have 1st world prices.
