First week as a family...

Our first week as a family was really good. Dad was in Tanna Island for most of it and we were busy getting into our after school activities.

I had my friend Travis over and we swam in the heavy rain!

In the weekend we played tennis and on Saturday night we went to the movies. The difference here though is that the cinema is outside! It is at a cafe on the waterfront called Numbawan, we booked a table and ate pizza while watching Robocop. They gave us free popcorn!

There are so many different things about living in Vanuatu, over the next few months I will talk about them but today these are the ones that I have been thinking about:

Even though it is really hot the sun is not as strong as the NZ sun. It is more a humid heat and we don't get burnt.

When it rains it is still really hot and the rain falls so heavy that is like a sheet of water falling from the sky. And it will start to rain and then stop and then start again throughout the day. In between the rain it is always sunny.

The rain makes the Roads which already have bad pot holes even worse. There are so many that the car goes up and down like a mini roller coaster.

Also the driving laws are different here like you don't have to wear seat belts and we are allowed to ride on the back of Mums truck. We love doing this!
