Moso Island, Vanuatu

Weather forecast for Moso Island, and the Tree of Lost Soles

 We said goodbye to the turtles, prayed at the Tree of Lost Soles, and checked the weather, before sailing to the other side of the island.

 There were only about 15 of us on the boat, so it wasn't crowded.  Very relaxing, just watching the water.  The water was incredibly blue.

 The covered deck was perfect from hiding from the sun.  It was warm, and a gentle breeze made the journey refreshing.

Downstairs to the tiny cabins

The cliche idyllic tropical island.  Soft white sand, turquiose water, tropical fish, butterflies, jungle, and spiders.

There were basic shelters and the bush toilet required buckets of water to flush.

The urchins enjoyed exploring this part of the island. 

 Very rugged, lots of rocks, boulders to climb and play in, lizards and bugs to find and catch.

 

A BBQ lunch on the beach, steak and sausages, rice, root vegetable salad, rice, tomatoes and lettuce. Plain and fresh, it was delicious in the sun. Tighe just ate the buns.  

This whole bush was covered in butterflies - magical

The biggest spider I have ever seen.

 Spent the afternoon in the water.  Tranquil and relaxing, a perfect holiday.
