Left Tisvel the previous night, after going to church on Sunday wear the women gave me a local Vanuatu missionary type dress to wear. They loved seeing me in the dress and on the night I left I was given 3 dresses - one from the mother of a young man who apparently took a liking to me as he serenaded me with his home-made string guitar - whilst his mother held a solar panel light on my face so he could take a picture of on his cell phone wearing it.

In the morning it appeared that the whole village was there to see us off and we took the boat back north on the day's mission to the east coast of Malekula. Really enjoyed my time there and didn't want to leave. Was great to experience living their village ways, customary resource use, playing games of volleyball with the kids who eventually warmed to me after first crying in fright -not having seen a white person before! Sad to leave and hope to some day return!
