Quartermoon - Now in Santo Espiritu, Vanuatu

Now in Santo Espiritu, Vanuatu

Quartermoon

Mike Share & Sammy Byron

Fri 8 Oct 2010 07:12

We have arrived and there is the promise of wifi soon.... Yes that means pictures for those of you that struggle with reading!

Emma has left (we had to get a plane diverted to pick her up from a field) and we have befriended a dugong called Bonzo (think that's the same as a manatee).

We are currently anchored at Oyster Bay resort (very cool and low key) in a lagoon on the East Coast of Santo. Never been more ready for oysters in my life (not tasted them since UK ;-( ) They also are famous for their Kobe beef. I just hope I can stay awake long enough to enjoy it all after our overnight passage up here.

Dinner calls, more to follow.
