Our Home

 Our beautiful house is on the road out to the airport so we have the very unexpected side effect of traffic noise most of the day. (I want to get that in first  before you look at the rest of the house!).
From the plane it is where the road comes close to the sea in the distance just before Luganville.
For the adventurous go to Google earth and enter the coordinates
15' 30' 53.49S
167' 12' 6.92 E


It is situated up on a hill side looking over Second channel and is right next door to the owners Kalmer and Louisa Vocor. He is an interesting man, ex schoolteacher, ex Member of Parliament, Chief Scout, and a senior member of the establishment. They now spend more and more time in their village.
We think that one of Annie's counterparts managed to 'arrange' the lease no doubt as an inducement for us to stay.
The balcony is a haven except in the middle of the day when it is too hot and we retreat in to be under a fan. It looks across to Aore Island and there is usually a cooling sea breeze.

The house is fully furnished and with large fridge and fans. We have been able to give back our setting up allowance and just supplement the equipment with some new plates and cutlery together with other 'essentials' like whisks and hand liquidiser for juice.


 The bedroom has a magnificent view over the channel. We seem to be acclimatising and did not need the fan on last night.

We have at last been connected to the internet!!!!
