Day 40 - out and about in Suva part I

The rain having stopped, we decided that it was about time to explore in town.  In the flea market, alongside the usual sarongs and eye-wateringly-bright shirts, a more exotic local mix : ladies industriously plaiting ribbons of dyed raffia into metre-long crescent-shaped garlands (apparently made to order for any special occasion - wedding, birthday, anniversary, passing, one lady told me) 



and, talking of "made to order", we couldn't help noticing two competing funeral services (you'll notice that the coffins have a clear plastic peep-hole over the visage...)
