Woken in the night by
the gecko. He crept onto the
bench, knocked two glasses over. Very loud in the still of the night.
Our bed is super high, so we watched
the sun rise of the island of Efete.
Erik went on another biking adventure, you can read about that here: Erik's Bike adventure Day 2
A walk along high tide before breakfast, urchins found hermit crabs, and
more shells.
Breakfast of fresh
breadfruit (tastes like a sweet lemon/lime) and watermelon. The urchins loved the pineapple juice.

After making a village
for the hermit crabs, the urchins did their schoolwork, then enjoyed the
pool.
I enjoyed not being at work. Erik joined us after his bike ride.
We found the
underwater Post Office, and Erik and Tighe swam down to it. Lots of fish varieties, and the water
was deliciously warm.

| Tighe and some fishes |
The coral reef had been extensively damaged by Cyclone Pam in April 2015, and there are efforts in place to help nature recover.
Most of the day was
spent in or around the water.
Tighe saw a lion fish, and Erik and I saw a yellow trumpet fish. We went out deep to the reefs edge
(90m) and snorkelled. Lots of
different fish, anemone fish, and clams.
The water was cold out at the reefs edge.
