After settling into Suva somewhat we get out for the day. Our first stop is the Fiji museum which boasts a large collection of artifacts including the cannibal fork. Then onto the market to do some shopping, which is kind of a cool place to hang out, if you don't mind the heat. Upstairs are the kava sales or as the sign points "Grog". Wandering upstairs, it's much like downstairs everyone is trying to get your attention and they all have the same thing, but hotter. The folks come up with some creative ways to eat a coconut and it's hard not to find someone who wants to open one for you. As one guy grabs it from me and starts to smash two coconuts together until the top cracks and he pops it off, after I drink it he takes it again and smashes it against a wall and hands me the pieces of sweet meat from the inside. The rest of downtown is an assortment of dvd shops, shoe stores, and curry houses.
