Vanuatu - Day 1

a ridiculously early start this morning - up at 5:15am to meet at 5:45am to get everyone to the airport and the buses back to Thrifty after filling up with petrol...

flight was slightly delayed from Sydney then there was delays getting through Customs at Brisbane due to a massive line...we got moved up and made it through as passengers were being called through to the gate...

I swear I saw Jonathan Brown (Brisbane Lions) in the same queue...wonder where he was going?!

more delays taking off from Brisbane but were only 15mins late into Vanuatu...

boy, it's humid here! wasn't sunny but hazy...

our night's activity involved dinner and some culture - through dance and the spoken word, we learnt about kava (most had some, some more than once!), cocounts and their uses including how to get at the good bits with the night finishing with some more dancing including a final dance where most of the players got involved..

it'll be an early night for most after a long day...

tomorrow we have another adventure planned, stay tuned!
