Reef Point

Full day touring on Efate, drove all the way around the island (~125 Kms). Absolutely gorgeous island, but sparsely populated, so most of the drive was just grass on both sides of the road. Had some spectacular views of the ocean and beach, and some overlooks. Drove past a WWII museum (see pictures), they asked ~$5 admission. One room, and by what I could see from outside consisted of mostly old Coke bottles. Gave it a miss. :o) Drove another 25 kms and found a lovely ocean side resort for lunch. Maybe 10 people there, so was busy. The food was delicious, had a spicy chicken roll. After that, we had another 40 Kms to the next tourist trap . . . the Blue Lagoon. Pictures looked like a cool swimming hole, but they wanted ~$10 each to see it, so gave it a miss. Overall it was a very nice drive around the island.

Since they have blue laws here (no alcohol sales from 1130 Sat - 0730 Mon) in stores, we ventured back to the Iron Horse Saloon for dinner and drinks, and played cards for a couple hours. As the sun was setting, we wandered back to the hacienda, and watched a movie. I really like this island. :o)Read more
