Vanuatu - Entry Number One!

Day One - We left Brisbane airport in the morning where it was a cool 8C. We were good boys on the plane - Will and Sam had a little bit of trouble with their ears descending. When we landed in Port Vila, Vanuatu it was a beautiful warm day - 28C and we all threw our jumpers in our bags with glee. We headed off to our resort and Harrison was fascinated with the fact that we were driving on the "wrong" side of the road. Will was more fascinated by the fact that he didn't have to wear a seatbelt! We arrived at Le Lagon and settled in, had dinner and then Harrison spent the first of many happy hours with the kids club while Will and Sam got acquainted with Sarah the babysitter. Mummy, Daddy, Auntie Kita and Uncle Roche escaped for some relaxation in the lobby bar.
Sam wanted to try a lime wedge so Mummy and Auntie Kita were forced to buy their first (of many!)cocktails.
Day Two - We headed into town today to explore and buy some souveniers. Mummy and harry used the public toilet at a cost of 50c each. If you want paper - thats an extra 50c! Then we headed back to the resort to have lunch at the pool and then get ready for Mummy and Daddy's wedding vow renewal ceremony.

We were escorted from our room all through the resort and down to the beach by a beautiful local band.


Auntie Kita and Uncle Roche were the "Paparazzi" dashing in and out of bushes to get us these lovely pictures and video.



Mummy and Daddy wrote their own vows - we thought it was rather mushy so played with our shell leis instead.




Kiss the bride...






10 years in the making - our beautiful family.





It was really special having Auntie Kita and Uncle Roche there to witness our happy day.







Sam was VERY popular amongst all the locals.







Auntie Kita and Uncle Roche looking gorgeous! They brought a bottle of vintage Moet along to celebrate the event and by the look of the adults faces it tasted REALLY good. In fact Mummy and Auntie Kita have decided they should celebrate with it much more often!






The grown ups had a lovely wedding dinner in the Wild Ginger Restaurant while we had dinner at the kids club and then were looked after by our babysitter Sarah.









The evening finished with a bang - Daddy and Uncle Roche serenaded Mummy and Auntie Kita with a very unique version of "I've got you Babe" .
Stay tuned for the next instalment in our Vanuatu holiday!
