The yellow sea plane surrounded by children.
 
One special event was the arrival of the yellow sea plane from Port Vila.  The children were thrilled many of whom had never seen a sea plane before and here was one they could touch even.

Lamen island village
 
A group of us went for a walk round the village on Lamen Island.  Although still very basic it was very attractive with almost a landscaped look with wide paths flanked by low coral walls.
