Day 132: Black and blue
In the morning, we emptied the fridge of its last edible contents, handed a painful amount of very large banknotes over to the owner, and sat under the Motel Albert sign waiting for the bus to bring us to the...Read this update

Day 131: That's not cricket!
In the morning, we got the most out of our last hour with the car and drove to the phonebox, a half hour walk away. We finished off the phonecall by calling my mom, who was very surprised to hear...Read this update

Another short entry, as we didn't do too much noteworthy today. I drove to the town in the white Hyundai, which was nervewrecking, we had lunch at Le Patio in Haapiti and bought a few postcards. In the afternoon I...Read this update

Day 126: Yellow Submarine
We took a private taxi to the Sofitel, the car being not much more than a wreck. Driving over potholes was extremely painful, as was the price for a 15 minute drive: 4000 CFP (about 40 EUR) return....Read this update

Day 125: Lara Croft - Mud Raider

Day 124: Pacific pace
We had a l;ovely, lazy breakfast and I called the ATV (aka Quad bike) tour agency. I asked her 'il y a quelqu'un qui parle l'anglais?' and she, bemused: 'Mais tu parles le francais?!' I explained I wasn't going to...Read this update
