Well I’m currently at the International Airport in Port Vila waiting to depart for home and figured since I have Internet access, time and no book or movies left on the iPad that I’d spend the time on a quick blog post (plus hopefully it’ll distract me from how hungry I am!!)
This post is diverging from Europe to completely focus on Vanuatu. It’s been a great holiday with the gorgeous resort location, lunches on the waterfront, a short dive to post postcards at the underwater post office just 3m from the shoreline of Hideaway Island, a climb up Mele Waterfalls and a dip in Blue Lagoon (including a rope swing into the refreshingly cool water!). Kayaking was pretty cool too, and then there were all the cocktails in the pool and fireworks on new years (although beware of the compulsory new years eve dinner and Xmas day lunch, if you’re thinking about making other plans).
Things to skip: turtle bay and the “swim with turtles” (you swim and then you go see the turtles) and eating at the resort (costly).
Things to remember: suncream and insect repellent, Chill is a brilliant restaurant in town run by an Aussie (great food!), scuba diving isn’t for everyone BUT it’s super cheap to do the PADI open course in Vanuatu. Especially with Nautilus Watersports (love the staff- super super nice and patient!). Also alcohol is sooo much cheaper duty free in Vanuatu than in Australia.
Anyway, I had a blast! And can’t wait up return! Happy holidays everyone!!
