Vanuatu Day 2 - Markets and Braids

After breakfast and a quick swim in the pool, we braved to public transport system to head in to town. This involves flagging down a minibus at the side of the road and telling them where you want to go. After a lunch of Aussie Burger and Fish and Chips at Island Time cafe, we headed to the arts and crafts market so that Zharana could get her hair braided. A lot of options as most market stalls offer braiding. We choose one near the centre of the market that was well covered and somewhat cool (Zharana was not coping well with the heat and high humidity). A lovely young lady named Bonny did the braiding and Zharana was very happy with the result.

Mission accomplished we had a wander around and down the fruit and veggie market, where there was beautiful tropical flowers and a wide variety of strange looking fruits and vegetables for sale. An icecream at the waters edge and a quick stop at the supermarket to stock up on food supplies, and we were good to flag down a bus to get home.

Spend the remainder of the afternoon relaxing in and around the pool.
