Last night we had dinner at a local French restaurant and tasted the local cuisine (flying fox and wild pigeon). We recommend the pigeon. After the romantic dinner it was back to our lodgings to experience the earth move.
In fact the earth moved many times, the largest a magnitude 7.1 earthquake, at about 5.00am this morning. This was the third quake to wake us and was enough to keep Joy out of bed for the rest of the night (Adrian slumbered on waking with each aftershock). Whilst the quakes are the talk of the town today, we have only heard of minor damage and no injuries.
We have spent today communing with nature. We visited some nearby waterfalls and then went to the beach. Tomorrow we head to Tanna Island for 4 nights where we are hoping to visit Mount Yasur, the world’s most accessible active volcano; visit a traditional custom village; and snorkel the nearby reefs. We are not expecting to have internet access on Tanna.
Today’s Bislami word of the day is Welkum.
