Champagne Bay

The 5th and final stop was Champagne Bay in Vanuatu. It is the nicest beach I was ever on. The water was crystal clear and very warm.

They have a bar that opens when the cruise ship comes in. I had to try a Tuskeny beer. It is the beer of Vanuatu.

More singing for donations for their church.

For $2 you could have your photo taken with a snake.


We did a tour of The Blue Lagoon. It is a natural fresh water spring. For $32 we got a drive in the worlds oldest van to the lagoon. When we got there we had to come up with another $20 to go down to it. It didn't bother me too much but I did enjoy watching other tourist get bent out of shape over the 2nd charge. We had a nice swim in it.
On the way down to the spring there was some kids singing and dancing for donations.

We went through a village on the way to the spring. It looked very poor. There was about 300 residents in this village. At meal time everyone eats together. They bring their food to one spot and share with everybody.


Our boat The Pacific Sun anchored in the bay.
