Pays to shop around
Your diet should be watched: take advantage of the fruit offered for breakfast. most hotels have a good selection. Also be cautious of the, drinking water; sometimes it is better to stick to cordial or fruit juice. A good sized shoulder bag is handy for the safe-keeping of personal papers and cheques. If time allows and you are not on a conducted tour, take advantage of the very efficient rental-car service offered in most towns; you can then drive around the outskirts of the villages and gain a more intimate feel of the country.
It pays to shop around before purchasing an expensive article — barter with the shop assistant and you should get a good deal. If buying electrical equipment, make sure it is a well-known brand. Remember, if something goes wrong later you might not be in Fiji. Be courteous, but say “NO” if you are being pressured into buying something you don’t want. If you just want to look around a shop, be firm and say so. CATHLEEN ROBERTS Ward St, Cobden
