We packed a lot yesterday, but we finish off this morning.

Day 15 – Rarru Rentapao River
Oh why did we not find this place earlier……
A morning lazing around the pool. That Cargo boat comes in again….. Only this time there seems to be another boat that’s even worse!

I can’t believe it. We saw some road machinery yesterday, but today they are grading “that” road behind the Cruise Ship Terminal. I double checked with one of the bus drivers who confirm it’s been bad for 4 or 5 years, but here today they are finally fixing it up! Unbelievable.

Dawn and Justine go for a morning Snorkel off the beach. We’re not really sure how it happened, a push of the current?, but as they were looking at the Clown fish, Dawn’s ankle touched the hard anemone the fish are hiding in. And yes they do sting! Apparently it’s hurting quite a bit.

I heard some noise early morning which seemed unusual. The place seem so safe, but then we’re behind a gate so there must be some risks. I have a quick look out the window but I can see anything. I hope that if it’s anything unusual John and Sarah would probably act. There is a laneway from the beach to the private road beside our place, so it was maybe someone walking up there.

A breathless, beautiful morning, the bay is almost smooth as glass.
Pacific Explorer arrives today, so we’ll keep around the house. Not long after they dock we notice all the lifeboats are in the water, they must be having a life boat drill.

Karl picks us up and we head north again to the Wahoo Bar, just before Port Havannah to join the boat. Even from the Wharf you can see the water is crystal clear.

We all drive into town …..that cargo ship is back…., Ken and Chris do their thing and we go to spend the Day on Iririki Island right in the middle of the harbour.
Somehow the kids con us into an icecream then we get on the small boat to take us across to Iririki. This is a flash resort and has prices to match. But to visit for the day is not too bad, about $20 each and we get that credit back for meals and drinks.

OK So the boats have buggered off for a few days so we safe from the hoards.
As the Island of Efate, of which Port Vila is on, is such a reasonably small island about 25~30km in diameter, the road around the coast is only about 120km, so the big thing to do here is an around the island road trip.
