"I got the spirit in me"

In an almost comedy of errors by Air Vanuatu, it took nearly 42 hours to get here, but standing in the main street of Luganville proves the pain of a series of delays was something to bear. Santo, as it is known, is a small island in Vanuatu 45 mins flight from the big lights of Port Vila. To quote Daryl Kerrigan, you can "feel that serenity".

Santo is the home to the SS President Coolidge. A ship almost the same size as the Titanic which lies at 23m of water at the bow and 60m of water at the stern. This is the main reason  we are here. One of the great wreck dive sites in the world.

Speaking of small islands, the first afternoon here we headed to the even smaller island of Aore  for a snorkel and a laze in the pool, all for the price of two of the local brew, Tusker beers. I share the two views...

Anne enjoyed the snorkel and the pool. Loads of fish in one, clear warm water in both. Having dived twice on the Coolidge in the morning, i was gassed out and happy to laze away.
