Port Vila, Vanuatu

We all got off for a look around Port Villa ,Vanuatu, we took one of the minibus type taxis from the port to the town, and that in itself was quite an experience.
These must be amongst the worst drivers in the world, but at least we arrived in one piece, and at $5 Australian each was a reasonable price for the ride.
The town is quite run down, but that seems to be the norm for the South Pacific.
We went in a few duty free shops, but didn't buy anything.
To be honest Sheila, Sue and Maz didn’t like the place and wanted to get back to the ship.
I was going to have a mooch around on my own, but it started to rain so we jumped a taxi back to the ship.
The impression I have of the South Pacific Islands is that they are very like the Caribbean, in that once you've seen one you've seen them all.
Anyway today is a sea day then tomorrow is Suva on the island of Fiji, so hopefully that will be different, we have an overnight stay at Suva so maybe I'll get some exploring done on my own.Read more
