Blog blong mi long Vanuatu: Nambawan blog post blong mi lo Vanautu

As the title suggests this the my first blog post in Vanuatu. I thought it would be a good idea to create a blog for family and friends so I can share my experiences living and working here in Port Vila. This is the fourth time in two years I have visited Vanuatu and each time I have stayed in the capital. In fact, the last time I was here was the shortest of any visit to another country - all of 36 hours. Now I am here for an extended period of time and although I am pretty busy with work there will certainly be time to visit all around the island of Efate, that's where I am at the moment and perhaps even make a couple of trips to the outer islands such as Tanna or Santo

I arrived here a couple of weeks ago and have been busy settling into my new role, well not quite new role more of an expansion of what I was previously doing before I left home to come out here. I didn't realise how time consuming it was to organise accommodation and the other mundane things one needs to do when establishing a new base. Finding the apartment was the easy bit but setting up the kitchen and the bathroom, organising internet connection (not least so I can write posts at home each night) and so on has taken me longer than I thought but I am happy to say that things are organised the way I like them. The apartment especially, it's nothing flash but the view each morning and evening is pretty spectacular - the subject of a future post to be sure. And so before the internet connection drops out for the umpteenth time tonight I will close here and post again tomorrow. But before I do here are a couple of pictures of various sights around Port Vila and the island of Efate.
