Back in Port Vila

The majority of the team headed back to Port Vila on Tuesday morning. It was a hot flight as the air was only 50% working and the plane was full. Interestingly enough the cockpit door was wide open, so much for security!

The team had tea at the wharf and for the most part relaxed or did last minute shopping before five members headed back to Adelaide on the Wednesday. Unfortunately since returning to Adelaide I have now found out that most people got sick from this meal. Not sure if it was the chicken or just us being unuse to fatty foods.

Those of us staying for a little longer headed out on a sailing trip Wednesday and spent a lovely day snorkelling, playing in the sand and just enjoying the sun. It was weird to be relaxing after the week I had just experienced. Unfortunately they don't make pizza's like they do here, but you live and learn...

Thursday 3rd: Went to the markets in the morning then over to Iriki Island to snorkel in the arvo. Weather was overcast and we were misinformed on were to snorkel, so probably missed out but it was still nice to be in the water and cooling off.

Friday to Sunday: The rest of the group returned to Adelaide early in the morning. David woke up with a bad fever so we spent the day dosing him with panadol and letting him rest. The weekend was spent nursing both David and myself back to health, though we did get over to Erakor Island briefly Saturday and then Hideaway island Sunday, where John had a good snorkel.
