A very quick update typed out at the town's local internet cafe.
We finally arrived yesterday afternoon and by the time we cleared customs and immigration - a thorough process, especially on the biosecurity side - we headed into the town.
Weather is not great, a Pacific storm, losts of wind and rain - just like home sweet home, albeit a bit warmer!
Lewvuka is an odd little port, quite a trading centre from the mid 19th century, and initially populated by escaped convicts from Australia. The atmosphere lives on...! We found the old original colonial bar and sampled the local beers before having dinner in an odd little place.
Today we are shooting off on a tour of the island, to see the volcano crater. I say "see" but how much will be visible in the clouds is anyone's guess! Best dash now or I'll miss the ride.
