Blog by Turtlebaybeachhouse.com. If you thought Asia was the only place on the planet with weird, exotic tropical fruits, think again. Vanuatu’s food markets and village stalls are bursting with wonderfully strange island fruits that can turn your holiday into a culinary adventure in paradise.
It’s my third visit to Vanuatu in two years and a lot has changed since I was here 18 months ago!
Those who know about our little backyard neighbour in the South Pacific, three hours flight from Auckland and two and half hours from Brisbane and Sydney, will remember that in March 2015 category 5 Cyclone Pam tore through the islands leaving a path of shambles in her wake. Villages were badly damaged, roads pot holed, trees down, power out and the clean up involved endless fires smouldering the debris into hazy skies.
Today, July 2017, Vanuatu is back and even better than before. In the words of the Six Million Dollar Man (only readers of a certain era will get this reference) “We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.”
