so i'm still alive and kicking here in vanuatu, when i started this blog i thought this would be the ideal way to keep in contact with people back home but a big problem arose early on - internet is just toooooo damn slow and expensive here in vanuatu to update my blog! so my internet usage has been kept down to bare minimum, ie: e-mails to my mother and occasionally friends. and also updating pics. but no pics the last couple months from espiritu santo (the island we are on now and have been the last couple months) because it's too slow to download my pics. so when we get back to vila in a couple weeks i'll post them then. we have been in west santo which is very isolated, with docs and dentists on board treating patients. it has been a fabulous couple months and very interesting! we are in vanuatu for another month or so, heading to australia on nov 15th, should be about a 2.5 - 3 week passage. i have enjoyed my sailing season but i am ready for it to end so that i can do normal things, like showering, laundry, going to cafe's... all the things i took for granted back home i have not been able to do for the last 7 months and i am starting to look forwards to an "easier" life. my plan now is to apply for a work visa for 1 year in australia, and stay there, work, travel, etc. etc... sorry to all those who were looking forwards to me coming home, but i'm having too much fun exploring the world!
anyways i'm using free internet at the beachfront resort in luganville because the owner has a free adsl connection, so i can finally update my blog with a bit of news.
will keep updating more from aus in december, until then cheerio!
