blue lagoon

the second one we visit after port antonio, jamaica. the water is brackish and the colors amazing. this great natural pool had some coral and fish.

around efate

because we could not stay too long in this great country and sail around its islands, we decided to rent a car and see the most of efate. we had an excellent day of very pretty sights and a lovely road trip. the high price was definitely worth it!! we were amazed of the many lot developments, and also of the magnitude and beauty of the real estate. By this we mean the tourists houses of course. all the local villages, except for port vila, live with no electricity and on very primitive homes. quite the contrast between these places and the tourist fancy neighborhoods.

port vila, vanuatu

Some 600 miles west of fiji is the country of vanuatu. we were greeted into these islands by dolphins jumping and spinning for hours just in front of our boat. since we arrived in this country we have been amazed of its beauty. Port vila, the capital is a very cool town with great restaurants. unfortunately they are very expensive, as mostly everything else in vila, but the quality of the food, and stores is superb.

wilson

someone told us the movie cast away was filmed in these group of islands. when we arrived in navadra island we wondered if the movie was filmed there. this was an isolated place with only one inhabitant…: Wilson!!! no kidding we were alone walking on the beach when we saw a volleyball identical to the one in the movie laying in the sand. We had great days in this place, playing robinson crusoe, eating coconuts, swimming in the most impressive coral and exploring paradise.
