Arrived in Tisvel today! The trip required a flight from Santo where I was met By Joe, a New Zealander who's doing his PhD on customary environmental resource use. A chance meeting and having no boat for the week was the perfect opportunity to experience living in a remote village. And Joe being a fluent Bislama speaker (mine is still very patchy and restricted to words nearly identical to English!) will be useful in translating my introduction to reef check later in the week.
