Day 8 - Champagne Bay, Vanuatu


We didn't arrive in Champagne bay until 10am in the morning. The advantage we had on other days is the Dwarfs had us up, dressed and fed by 7am and so by 8am we were ready to board the tenders, while other people were still waking up. Today every man and his dog was waiting and by the time we got out tickets, we were 1141-1149. We didn't reach Champagne Bay until almost midday.
 
Apparently only 200 people live at Champagne Bay, when we arrived there were people setting up crab nets, some where offering to take us on a tour and most of the others were selling things at their market stores. We went for a swim, the water was crystal blue, very little in the way of seaweed or coral and no fish to be seen. It was the perfect swimming spot, however the water was so salty that you could just lay back and float. Only problem was making sure you didn't accidentally swallow some sea water, get it in your eyes or if some went up you nose because it really irritated. After swimming we once again changed on the boat and returned. The Dwarfs bought some souvenirs, C got her hair braided and they all had their photo's taken with green lizards on their head.
