Vila, Vanuatu

Vila was beautiful! This is where Survivor Vanuatu was filmed! In the morning I went on a great tour of Ifira Island where there is a small village of about 200 of the Ifira people. We paddled over to the island in Outrigger canoes, and then were served fresh mangoes, coconuts, bananas, and grapefruit, all grown on the small island! We were then taken in small boats out to the reef where we snorkeled for about an hour. I saw so many fish, the water was so clear and the viewing was spectacular! We later had a walking tour of the island, all the kids were adorable, waving, and giving out flowers! It was so interesting to see there homes, literally a whole different world from what we are used to. Later when back at the port, I met up with some others and we spent the afternoon at Iririki resort also on a private island, only accessible by boat. We swam in the pools, drank some cocktails and ate lunch by poolside. The resort was so nice, and had many bungalows perched out on the water!
