Fiji came and went, lovely beaches, nice people, classic Pacific
A good quick 3 day sail to Vannatu
First island Tanna, Resolution Bay not changed in 200 years, a village with no running water, no electricity, the same beach as Captain Cook found.
Now in the capital, an earthquake last Christmas has made a big mess, lots of boarded up buildings and not much building work, it will be a long time before it is up on its feet.
Australia here we come
