Vanuatu (August 2017)...

A quick trip to Vanuatu in the hope of escaping the cold weather of Sydney and soaking up some sunny days in the tropics.

Stayed at Iririki Island Resort - fantastic!

Too windy for me to play blackjack in the water, next time!
                                       
We got the shock of our lives on the first morning when we looked out the window to see the big P&O cruise liner outside our window.


We booked a day trip to Coongoola and were lucky enough to have the ship to ourselves and one other person. The tour can have up to 40 people on it at a time, so we picked a great day! It was like our own private charter.


We went to Tranquility Resort and saw the turtle hatchery, and then to Mosa Island for our first snorklel.

Some of the locals... they are always laughing and having a great time
Vanuatu is a great pace to come for a break, and we hope to come back again one day.

Up early for a 7am flight back to Sydney tomorrow, so early night tonight!
