'Mode': AROUND
Category: Car/Motor Home
Getting TO/AROUND: We arrived in Vila via the Pacific Sky and after we had made it through the endless markets we were greeted with cars and vans - of all shapes and sizes! Some a little worse for wear. Each proudly owned by a smiling local. You can barter your price to be taken where ever you like. They will take you sight seeing, drop you off for a spot of shopping and then pick you up to take you back to the ship or where ever you want to go. We even left all our souvineers etc in the car while we went shopping and had no trouble with them being stolen. This mode of transport is not for the faint hearted though. Their driving is quite erratic and fast!!. Oddly enough I felt relatively safe........sort of!

toonsarah Fri Feb 1, 2008 17:34 UTC Looks such a beautiful place to visit. I loved the beach scenes and your photo of the locals in particular - and really comprehensive shopping tips too. Another one for the wish list ;)	sue_stone Tue Jan 29, 2008 17:26 UTC I visited Vanuatu about 25 years ago - doesn't sound like is has changed much!
Hexepatty Fri Sep 21, 2007 16:10 UTC Sounds like American / Western Samoa. They permit drinking while driving and have Kava and the women rule the roosts! That said, don't know if I have to go Vanuatu but I would if permitted a free ticket! GREAT TIPS!!!	angiebabe Wed Sep 12, 2007 22:37 UTC have enjoyed the tour and info on Vanuatu thanks - have yet to travel around the Pacific - about time I did!
