Saturday, November 6

To reach the village of Farea Fao, the site of a rural electrification project, we climbed the sides of Nguna Island. Seasoned adventurers that we are, we hadn’t of course brought any water… A coconut picked up on the way and opened with a villager’s machete quenched our thirst.

Sunday, November 7

A day at the hotel to work on the blog. Rather than showing you our rooms, we wanted to show you the (non-)airport of Malikolo. Arson reduced it to a few sections of wall during territorial conflict in 2001.

Monday, November 8

The island of Espiritu Santo, in the middle of the archipelago. On the road linking the Sarakata dam to Luganville, a herd of cattle seemed to want to commandeer the entire road. Resigned, we moved aside to wait for the convoy to pass…

Tuesday, November 9

Returning from Port Olry, a village that is self-sufficient in electricity thanks to its small copra oil electricity power plant, we make a detour via Champagne Beach. The name of this beach refers to gas bubbles that rise from the volcanic seabed. We were too absorbed by the photo? Or totally captivated by the landscape? In any case, we didn’t see any!

Wednesday November 10

Siesta time in the south of Efate island…

Thursday November 11

If you want to get around Port Vila other than on foot, you have the choice between the back of a 4×4 truck or one of the minivans that take you wherever you want in the town for the sum of 150 Vanuatu Vatu (around €1).

Friday November 12

Impromptu photo of Frederic, our GDF SUEZ guide in Vanuatu, in front of the superb fresco on the front of the Unelco building in Port Vila. A big thank you to him and all the teams of Unelco and AEV for their welcome!
