LAUTOKA FIJI

At Queens Wharf

Lautoka's colourful market has huge quantities of everything:

cabin mats

fresh veggies..

all sorts of fruit...

and masala spices by the ton.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soren Larsen has departed Lautoka having boarded the new Voyage Crew from the Coopers Company & Coborn School in the UK for the start of this next passage to Vanuatu.

The crew of the previous voyage from Tonga left the ship at the weekend and have already traveled to the Namara village on the island of Wayasewa to carry on the school project there and spend a week experiencing village life.

Captain Tony Davies has sailed Soren to the Yasawa Group and today plans a surprise visit to Wayasa so that the two school crews can meet up, share experiences and enjoy an afternoon together as their adventures cross here. Our thanks to the people of Namara and to the principal of the school there Mrs. Namuaira, for making this exciting part of the Coopers Coborn school project possible.
