Arrived from Sydney after a 3 hour flight. Back to reality after the unrivalled hospitality of The 4 Seasons. Santo is the biggest island in Vanuatu. The main town is Luganville, dusty hot non-descript place that was a huge US Military base during WW2. It's a pretty drab town where the locals seem to sit around doing very little. The local restaurants consisted of a little row of huts by the market. Each one with a window hatch and a big smiling Mama inside. Despite the town's image, the people are all very smiley and welcoming. The menu was steak or curry with a jug of squash. Its cheap and cheerful and cooked in front of you. We spent a couple of days sorting ourselves out and then headed out of dodge.
