February 23rd, 2020 – Lakatoro<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Went to church this morning, due to a desire for human contact rather than any religious fervour. It was an unusual service today, led entirely by women from the congregation. It is quite funny that in any Christian church, in any language, the reading of church notices are the dullest five minutes you will have to listen to all week. I’m glad I went, as my counterpart Kevin was there, and although we were supposed to have a meeting in Lamap (a village which is a three hour drive away) on Monday morning, for which I was getting ready to be picked up at silly o’clock in the morning, he told me the meeting has been cancelled, and so he would buy me a fish instead – I didn’t understand the segue either, but hey, free fish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then after a long siesta in the stifling heat of the afternoon, once things started to cool down a bit, I decided to go for a walk to explore a bit further down the road and to stretch my legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A petrol station I came across. Diesel is about 190 vatu\/litre, so about the same as back in Europe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This kindergarten definitely has the best-kept grounds in town. The grass was trimmed, the walls painted, everything looks very smart. H would’ve loved the playhouse, visible to the left.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m trying to find access to the sea closer to the house, at Brendan’s recommendation. Here was a small stretch of seafront, but it was still quite a way to get to, and I had to trespass over someone’s garden to get there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Built by the Japanese in 1988, apparently.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The wharf commercial centre as it stands today, abandoned. Commercial activity on Malekula just doesn’t seem to work very well. I don’t think I’m going to change that by writing an investment policy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The sunset I’d walked to see!

Wishing you all a great week ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and for those of you concerned, apparently H is finally on the mend, having polished off five pancakes at breakfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
