Vanuatu - I love it!

Hi all, I just have to tell someone how great our last week has been in
Vanuatu. I've never been diving or snorkelling but in Vanuatu I gave
snorkelling a go and was gob smacked by what I saw only metres off the
beaches. Coral and fish all swimming alongside you with no fear or cares
in the world. I saw a lionfish and butterfly fish and clowns and parrot
fish amongst many others I can't name. I also saw a blue starfish and I
took video of coral while standing in just 30 cm of water! If I just
could've taken a text book down with me so I could identify everything.
I bought a bag of pellet feed for the fish but it gets a little mushy
underwater The fish ate holes in the bag to get to the food (it's
very hard to laugh and snorkel at the same time).

I've still to set up my reef tank as I wanted to wait until after this
holiday. Now I'm thinking twice about it - it scares me that I might
kill them despite 4 months of reading up.

It sounds like you had a fantastic time! I'm jealous. I saw Vanuatu on
the last season of Survivor, and it definitely seems like a nice place
to vacation.
