SANTO
 
The entrance to the huge Millenium Cave in Santo.
 
After walking, wading and clambering through the cave we swam down the river, through a deep gorge, to get back to the village.
 
 
MAEWO
 
In the village of Narovorovo we were shown the traditional way to prepare kava using a coral stone.
 
Tom gets his first lesson and mainly grinds his hand instead of the kava.
 
 
The walk across Maewo to see the 'bigfella ocean' on the east coast took us over a couple of steep hills and through thick jungle. 
 
We joined a family fishing party and picnic when we reached the other side.  
 
 
The beautiful waterfall and swimming pool at Asinvari.
 
Having a shower - such a luxury!
