The Pig's tusk is the gold standard in Vanuatu. Annie sending a food parcel to Lucy in the Banks Islands up north by air freight.
The main street is wide and lined with Chinese owned stores selling about the same thing. Small Korean made 3 cylinder taxis creep up and down seeking pasengers.There are 3 banks, numerous ATMs and two good cafes.
Le Jardin de Saveur adds a bit of class with French food that is delicious and as good if not better than you will find in France. The coffee has to be drunk black with a choux pastry or pain au raisin (or both) and of course The Guardian Weekly.
The local branch of the University of the South Pacific (USP) and the Alliance Francaise provide reasonable library facilities though books are hard to find elsewhere.
Quonset huts in various states of repair or dissolution are dotted around everywhere.
For relaxation there is the Unity Park or walks round behind the town and of course the sea. But do not sit under a coconut tree!!
Nice shots and description. Hope to read more from you.
