Vicki and Kristin stayed with a family in a nearby village and invited their hostess to tour the ship. Mildred and Jean went on a five-day trek, sharing the experience with two Australians and two Austrian travelers. A big hit in Suva has been the Village 6 Movie Theater. Andrew saw eight movies in ten days. Another highlight is the market.
