A few weeks ago we had a little trip to Vanuatu here is the story
(I will be posting images and stories for the next few weeks)
The first day
We arrived in Vanuatu early evening it was getting dark when we got off the plain. Steeping out of the plain you were hit with nice warm tropical air which was so refreshing after coming from Tasmania where it was getting very cold.
The airport was small and their was two lines, one for residents and the other of visitors we had to line up to get our papers stamped, then we were off to get our luggage and go through customs. Once we got out of the airport we were out the door to grab a taxi to our hotel room.
The drive to our hotel was quick and we saw a lot of people walking along the streets, with in a few minutes we arrived at our hotel, we are staying on the waterfront and our hotel is a small boutique style accommodation.

First few days in paradise
Our first few days in Vanuatu revolved around walking into Port Villa, looking and planning our trip for the few weeks and trying some of the food and hunting down a good cup of coffee. We found a cool restaurant that was on the waterfront and this became our regular coffee spot. We found Port Villa to be a nice small town where it was easy to get around and the locals were so friendly.
The Purple Finch has a wonderful new home at The Mill Provider + Gallery this is where you will find some of our delightful wooden earrings. Thanks to the lovely Becky for taking on board our product range.
The Mill also stocks a variety of wholesome foods and chocolates (they have some lovely chocolates from Cocobean which I will have to say are my fav).
