Vanuatu
Today we arrived in Luganville, Espiritu Santo,
Vanuatu. Our tour would take us to
Hibiscus Lagoon or the Blue Lagoon.
The weather was beautiful; sunny, warm but not too hot, and
humidity was low. Perfect. I was
surprised by the look of such a tropical island. As we made our way to the lagoon, it reminded
me more of home than the equator. Many deciduous trees marked the landscape,
though there are areas of planted coconut palms for farming. Cattle roamed in many of these farm areas
which took care of the low growth, making a neatly landscaped appearance.
The lagoon itself was amazing. The hole was small I believe 160 X 60 and 60
ft deep. You could see all the way clear
to the bottom. There was a hut set up
with local crafts and snacks for us to enjoy.
The water was cool but very enjoyable. It was a great was to spend a
sunny morning.
After the lagoon we headed back to the ship. Tonight we had
a big night to get ready for. A couple
days ago we received an invitation in our mail.
We were invited to have a private dinner with the Captain
and his girlfriend Brooke at their table in the Pinnacle Grill (The fancy
restaurant onboard). It was a nice
surprise and we were both excited to go.
There were four other “couples” invited to tonight’s dinner
as well. The menu was very sophisticated and delicious and the wine was
generously served with every course. Ty
tried all the dishes and ate many of them clean. He was of interest to many at the table as he
is the youngest onboard. We had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed our time with
our great hosts.
