After our "too expensive trip" to Tanna,we stayed 3 nights in the cosy Mangoes resort near Port Vila Hospital. We did the Lelepa island tour organized by the locals:marvellous beaches,very good lunch and interesting village,cost 3900 Vatu each i.e 43 Usd and the Congoola cruise to Moso …

          While sitting dejectedly around the fire in the lounge trying to get warm for the 5th day in a row of the depressingly cold, greyness and rain of winter, Erle and I asked each other just why we were here freezing when we could quite easily be somewhere else i…

taking a nice scenig flight form Port vila on small aircraft to Pentacost where the yearly(may to june) event of land diving is carried out, it is well worth it the trip. It can be done overnight and gives you the option of exploring more of this island. which is as well visited by crous…

We Flew to Vanuatu on Jun 9th to get away from the cold temperatures of South Australia. It wasn't as hot as we thought it would be due to the early travel. Normaly we hit the Pacific in Oct. We didn't need fans or airconditioning at night, but the sea's were still warm to snorkel! We stayed at a…

I think the Bus system in Port Vila has got to be one of the best in the world! For a flat rate of just over one dollar you can jump on any of the countless mini-busses and be taken to anywhere you wish within the city of port Villa. Just like a Taxi you may think, but as each mini bus may pick…

Vanuatu....an island paradise just a few hours flight from Australia. It was the ideal get-a-way for me...       I am so happy I got to experience the friendliness of the locals and see the beauty of this Pacific Island at a time when my soul and body needed pure Re…

It rained for the first time today. We had just mounted our horses at Club Hippique when the rain came down in bucket loads. My shoes filled with rain water quickly, and everyone was drenched to the bone in tropical downpour.   Actually, in the heat, the rain was quite refreshing. An…

I spent my third day in Vanuatu on a day-tour to nearby Lelepa Island, so named because lepers back in the day were sent to live in isolation in a cave there.  We travelled around the island in a fishing boat driven by Moses and his sister-in-law, eighteen-year-old Matilda.  They both …

Most friendly place in the world.

The purpose of the trip to South Pacific was simply for business, but my friends were just envious of me traveling to beautiful islands... Travel itinerary: USA - Fiji - Vanuatu - Kiribati - USA (for three weeks)

Vanuatu is an amazing paradise. they are home to the friendliest people in the world. their country is beautiful and the culture is so amazing to learn about and experience.

Wonderfull Islands, Stood on top of a working vulcano at the island of Tanna in the republic of Vanuatu. Spend two week on Efate. The journey is quite an ordeal coming from Europe but it is absolutely worth the effort. Am going back as soon as possible.

THANK YOU to everyone who sends me postcards and help make my collection grow! I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH! If you sent me a postcard and you don't see it in this blog, it means it's still on its way or I never received it because it got lost or someone stole it. Yeah, it happens.

I LOVE POSTCARDS..!!

Cruised from Sydney to New Caledonia and the New Hebrides aboard Rhapsody of the Seas.Great 10 days visiting islands that have not become too touristy yet.Very good places for snorkelling especially Isle of Pines and Vila (Hideaway Island). Ship excursions very expensive, but easy to arrange your own trips. Locals very friendly. Recommend visit to local village at Luganville (by taxi), war museum and cultural centre at Noumea. Isle of Pines still very unspoiled. Ship excellent.
