No, we are still not officially in Vanuatu.

We arrived in Port Vila about 12 noon yesterday and customs came to see us just after 3.00pm. That was fine but immigration and biosecurity were busy, so we still aren’t here. Their offices reopen on Monday so we will be able to go to the office and complete booking in.

On our way here Marion tried out another seasick remedy. Masking tape across the stomach. Not sure if that did any good.

Port Vila is the nicest and cleanest city\/port we have been in so far. Waiting for customs we were anchored in 7m of water and could see the coral bottom. Two Dugongs swam past to greet us. We were too slow to grab the camera. We have moved closer into the harbour on a mooring ball and the water is still clear. Isle of Wallis may not be our number one spot for long.? Today we went to buy data and fresh fruit and veggies. The local market has the best quality and range of produce we have seen in all the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
