Title – Beach Hut
Date – September 2000
Location - Tanna Island - Vanuatu
Accommodation options vary and in the best locations the choices can be limited.
Here the 'Friendly Bungalows' on Tanna Island are as simple as permanent structures can be, with no furniture on the split bamboo floor and with no electricity, but you are compensated by the isolation and the view. As a bonus Mary, who was looking after us, did so with a level of service never matched in any five star hotel. One night she approached me to apologies for the dinner she had made for me, as the only person staying that month. It was lobster! She was apologising as we had lobster the previous night, but the fisherman had caught too many and they don’t waste anything. Needless to say I forgave her the monotony of the menu on this occasion…
