Travel | Port Vila, Vanuatu

"The best thing about Vanuatu, though, is that you feel safe and happy here."

My lovely readers - how I have missed you. I must apologise for my absence from the blogosphere over the last few days - I've been laid up in bed since the weekend with... Well, I'm not sure what it was, but it wasn't good! It's only today that I've felt I can actually look at a computer screen for more than a couple of minutes, write a quick update, and catch up on all of your own lovely blogs (although, with almost 200 hundred posts waiting on my bloglovin', I'm thinking it might take more than a day!) At the moment, I'm blaming my illness on New Zealand's truly awful summer - and dreaming of a tropical escape to sunny Vanuatu - just a hop, skip and a jump from my country's own damp and dreary islands. I think a few days spent lazing about Port Vila's  "faded French atmosphere, rambling streets and café scene" could be just what the doctor ordered, don't you?
