During my time in Suva I’ve explored the city on foot nearly every day, often twice at the start and end of the day. There is a disappointing lack of non-concrete walking surfaces, but the pavements are usually wide and clean, and the city feels safe to walk around (during daytime).

The waterfront is the obvious choice most days.

Particularly at sunrise or sunset.

MySuva Park is the nicest spot along the waterfront, with well maintained gardens that are always popular.

The nearby Laucala Bay is rather pleasant.

Heading toward Flagstaff along Laucala Bay Road is the attractive Muanivatu Sanatan Dharm Ram Mandir and the API-Tonga Community Centre.

The Domain is home to Ambassadors and multilateral organisations such as Pacific Islands Forum and Pacific Islands Development Forum Secretariat. It’s a lush green area, but lacks pavements and has narrow streets making it a little stressful to walk around during rush hour.

Central Suva has an eclectic range of buildings.

There are a few flash glass towers.

Albert Park is the centre of public life in Suva, generally sports related (rugby, cricket and volleyball), but also random events like this wheelbarrow race.

I always walk through Thurston Gardens, home to plenty of fruit bats and beautiful trees.

Up the hill in Toorak is the burnt out Gokals, apparently caused by an electrical fault.

There are some lush tropical views heading to Flagstaff.

Heading north east through atmospheric areas less commonly walked around.

Security is clearly a major and rather worrying concern around Suva, judging by the amount of fencing around almost every property.

Grand arches to these presumably Chinese and Indian funded schools.

I love these huge trees that can be found in so many places around Suva.

A few randoms to finish with.
