Day 5 
We wake most mornings very early as the Ni Vanuatu women call out for their boat to bring them over to Aore Island for work. We certainly do not get up then; just rollover for another hour or two to doze.
This morning we were on the water taxi after breakfast ready for our day out with John, the taxi driver who brought us into Luganville from the airport on Saturday.
He took us to the Nanda Blue Hole which was spectacular. The colour is so rich and despite the pool being very deep you could clearly see fish swimming. The tropical setting was really well maintained.
Gray wandered off with his camera as I took the holiday snaps on his phone.
There were a few local young people swimming, even though according to them it was so cold. The air temperature was 27!
On the way to Port Olry we passed many coconut plantations. Coconuts and copra are still their main exports.
We arrived at Port Olry just before lunch, so after we put in our order at the cafe, we wandered down the beach. I cannot remember ever taking my sandals off and paddling in the water in June before. School was letting kids out for their 2 hour siesta.
We sat on the benches at the table on the beach and devoured our coconut crab. Needless to say it was delicious and we enjoyed the whole process of getting all the flesh from the shell. Thankfully there was a hand basin and soap in the ladies!
We were quite quiet on our way back to town. We are so glad we were able to have this day out. John was a good tour guide and understood what we wanted to do straight away.
