Port Villa-Vanuatu-Pacific Island


In November of 2012 I was on a business trip to Vanuatu, in the Pacific. It is always such a privilege to see all the beautiful places and to meet all the beautiful people. I am not able to give justice to what I experience, but I attempt to share the stories with some pictures.  Vanuatu is an amazing country. I stayed in the Chantilly on the Bay hotel from where I experienced the scenic beauty of sunsets, cruise ships lying in the harbor the sound of birdsongs and the of rain on the roof.

 

Our hosts from the University of the South Pacific went out of their way to make us experience their beautiful country  when they took us for sightseeing to experience jaw dropping scenes  where the Pacific Ocean meets the land  with the beautiful green background.

Over the weekend I booked a day trip on the Coongoola,  a yacht,  which was used as a mother ship radio relay for the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. On our way to the Sun and Moon Bay, we stopped at the Turtle conservation project at Tranquility Bay. It was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful as we sailed over the blue and emerald  green waters, where at some places, the color of the ocean looked unreal!. When we arrived at the beach I attempted Snorkeling. It was an amazing experience to see the beautiful under water sea life. A note to myself was to seriously consider improving my swimming skills.

One day, I may go back to Vanuatu with its beautiful, serene environment  and I am surely staying at Chantilly on the Bay with its magnificent staff!
