Vanuatu 2008


In 2008 I found myself in Vanuatu, a small island nation in the Pacific.  Just as I walked out of the Office Pub at sunset a large yacht was making its way into Vila Bay.

Vanuatu was known as the New Hebrides until independence in 1980.  New Hebrides was held as a jointly owned colonial possession by both France and the UK, who duplicated everything to replicate both nations. There were both French and British prisons, courts etc. which must have been confusing for the locals.

Vanuatu is now developing itself as a tourist destination.
