    Today we got up very early (slept through the first few alarms) fed Zuko and did some last minute packing before going to the airport.

    Today Jamsey had a sleep in. We went to buffet breakfast and sampled everythingg. Then we went to snorkel cove and saw all the fishies. We explored port vila, got the lay of the land, got some toothpaste and went to all the shops, couldnt find the dive shop. We had lunch at Numbar one cafe and ordered the coveted New Zealand bass (frozen fish fingers) and Tusker beer. We then went back to the resort and had a cocktail in the pool. For dinner we had traditional Melanesian buffet with kava (mud water) and lap lap. There was a traditional music and dance. We learnt that once married the men would knock out a ladies front tooth to signal this girly is taken. (I think we will skip this tradition). Caitlin joined the unity dance.Read more

    Today we got up and slapped on the sunscreen for a morning snorkel. We saw lots of fishies πŸ πŸ‘πŸ¦€πŸͺΈ. We then went on our waterfall tour at the cascades. We jumped off a big platform (avoiding the rocks) and did the rope swing. Jamsey wanted to swim against the current which was very tiring. Then we had some afternnon tea with banana and grapefruit. We learnt all about Kava and tried some at the Kava bar. It made our mouth feel numb. We had a sunset spa with some drinks and chips which was very beautiful. πŸŒ… Then we had a parmy dinner.Read more

Then we went to the turtle sanctuary where we held iguanas, saw a coconut crab (1m wide) tried to feed the turtles tuna but they werent hungry. Unfortunatly there were some turtle pickers about. Then we went home and relaxed. We walked to stone grill and cooked our own meat on a volcanic rock.Read more
