Cycle Trip & Matafonua Lodge

13 May 2015

Busy day yesterday with washing, Internet catch up of emails and walk into town, then back and evening meal ashore at Fins and Flukes.
Pangai still showing effects of cyclone 16 mths ago- photos on camera so I will add tgem later. Houses blown off foundations, boats smashed and schools without rooves.
Today one crew member - Al- leaving at 1 pm and another 2 trying to get flights out but all full until after Monday. They are hoping for an extra flight to be put on on Friday or else it will be the ferry!!
Diane and I off on a cycling trip going North up the Island and found Matafonua Lodge. Stopped for coffee and pancakes - just magnificent. Food great, owners really friendly beautiful position despite grey windy day. Would love to come and stay and may come back for the snorkelling- highly recommend it. Diving and whale watching available. Space to anchor out the front. Using their internet to update blog.
