What a Christmas – eight days of fun in the sun.  I’m a north Queenslander and am quite used to the hot and humid weather of a tropical environment.  That is not what greeted me over Christmas this year in Port Vila, Vanuatu.  The weather was amazing, the water was inviting and the company superb.  Unlike Nth QLD you can actually swim in the water in Vanuatu during the months of October to March with no fear of stingers.  In fact, Vanuatu is one of the safest places to swim in the ocean or walk in the bush, which of course I did some of both.  Breakas staff and the patron, George were fantastic as usual, making Christmas memorable for us.  Highlights were being witnesses at a commitment ceremony, creating the Kelby / Steve Special, guaranteed to make you feel fantastic according to John, meeting lots of wonderful people, and camping at Panganisu Village with Karlos and Kathleen for two days.  I handed out about ten first aid kits to the local village and hope to grow this project for next year.  If you have questions about what to do, where to stay or anything else let me know.
