Pot holes of Suva

The pot holes in Suva are enormous and make driving a sport. I don't drive here but I certainly experience whiplash on a constant basis. Watching and experiencing cars swerving and make wild maneuvers into on coming traffic and crossing all over their own lane makes being a passenger in Suva an exciting event. This is just a very small sampling of the what we call the "lovo pits" of Suva. (A lovo pit is an underground oven that Fijians cook there meals in) One must take extra care not to run over the families using the bigger of the pits on Sundays when they cook their feast.(just kidding!)
