The Final Vanuatu Entry.

Day Eight - We all made the most of our last big buffet breakfast. Harrison had his last helping of pancakes, eggs benedict, hash browns, bacon and french toast! We took some pictures around the resort, did some last minute shopping and enjoyed the warm weather.

Mummy will remember the beach massage hut fondly.

Harry and Will check out the outrigger canoe for the last time.

Goodbye Totem!


Goodbye fountain and fish.



"Ahh Will...any idea what to do with this?"




Life jackets on for a trip out on the cat with Daddy.










Here we go.

Yep that's us and Uncle Roche far far away. Mummy and Auntie Kita hope we will be back before its time to head to the airport.

Harry went off for some last fun with the kids club. Will and Sam rested with Sarah while Mummy, Daddy, Auntie Kita and Uncle Roche packed the bags anf finished off the last of the compensatory champagne. Then it was off to the pool for a quick lunch and last cocktail before hopping onto the coach and heading to the airport.





We said goodbye to Sarah - she took terrific care of us and allowed Mummy and Daddy to enjoy lots of grown up dinners and nights out.

Just for fun Daddy had one final argument with the reception staff and then we were off. What a fantastic holiday!
