Adventures on the Sailing Vessel Moorea Fiji
	Suva: Checking into Fiji was easy and the agents that boarded Moorea were friendly and professional with 2 representing customs, 1 agriculture, 1 health and 1 immigration, our boat was sitting low in the water.   Our fee for boarding the vessel was split with another boat and we were charged $53(Fiji).  We discovered that if we had checked into Lautoka, there wouldn’t have been a boarding fee.
Suva Prison had concrete borders topped with barb wire and a mural covering the length of the boundary.  Situated next to the busy road gives a glimpse into the neglected interior buildings persuading viewers that crime does not pay.	Catholic Cathedral, reminiscent of the churches in Mexico
