Vanuatu 31 jan -7 feb

Being so close to the South Pacific with some time in our hands, we decided to go to Vanuatu, a group of islands between Fiji and the Salomon Islands. We flew to a little island called Espiritu Santo to meet up with Anders and Annika, two friends from Gotland. We spent 5 days in Espirity Santo and then we flew to the main island Efate and stayed at a smaller island, Hideaway Island for a day, before flying back to Auckland. Vanuatu was great, even though very hot! About 31 degrees in the air as well as in the water.







On Espiritu Santo we stayed at a place called Coral Quay Resort which was very nice and owned by a French woman. We spent most of our time in Santo scuba diving, but we also enjoyed nice dinners with Anders and Annika as well as looking at all the beautiful flowers and sometimes more scary animals. The alndscape picture you can see is the view from our little cottage.
As we have just received our underwater camera house we have become quite crazy in taking photos and we are very keen on making some of you (speciellt ni, Karl och Julia), even more keen on diving with us in the future. Hence we will make several posts for the separate dive sites and excursions we made.
