Waterfall Hike


A boat came to the anchorage yesterday from the Solomons with a bishop onboard. The men all came to the waterfall, took a bath and washed their laundry. Then they went in for a service, delivered rice, and left. Quick visit, but effective!! I learned a lot, washed our laundry today!

She was using a coconut half to water the plants.

I had all the fresh water I could use at this cascade, so I washed our living room linens and even cushion. Now they are clean and smell fresh!

Volcano

We have beautiful sunrises through the smoke and ash that the volcano on the neighboring island of Ambrym continuously spews.

Additionally on clear nights you can see the reflection of the lave on the plume.

It is a different world down here.
