First Days in Vanuatu by Bear

On the 30th of August, Oso left Fiji heading for Vanuatu (the next island group). It took us two and a half days to get to Vanuatu. On the crossing, the ocean (at some times) was as calm as a lake! It was a fairly crossing. I had very little school and a ton of movie time. Those were the good parts!

When we got here, there was only one other boat, but there is a big village. The kids in that village and I have so much fun! The kids on Anatom are very shy, but once I got to know them, they were fun.

So far we have been at Anatom Island for four days. The island of Anatom is the farthest south island in Vanuatu. We are going from south to north here in Vanuatu (we have just started). There IS malaria in Vanuatu, but that's up north. So, we're safe.

In two days, we are moving up to Tana which is a super active volcano island. We are going to throw an old ring in the volcano (like in Lord of the Rings – my precious). It is going to be fun!
