Outside our house
We have been here for 2 weeks now and have learned and experienced many things already...
Inside our house showing off garlands we received at church.
Everyone dresses in white at church and produce the most heavenly sound when singing.
We have swum in the sea a couple of times, a lovely 15 min stroll through a coconut plantation and farm, cross a stream and we're there.
We have been into town (Luganville) several times. This is a major trip usually on the back of a ute 50 min each way on a 20km muddy bumpy, unsealed road.
We have scrubbed clean the floor in our house using elbow grease and sweat.
We have had quite a few meetings with staff, discussing timetables, curriculum etc. And we have met our students and taught some classes
And we have had lots and lots and lots of rain... The last 2 days have been sunny but it rained for a week before that.
We have learned a lot about solar power and battery storage.
Installing new batteries for the solar system
Oh and we met our first grandchild, Miles Te Punga-MacKay, (by video call) born Friday 7 Feb 2020
