Chocolate.....

Today was probably the most relaxed day on the trip so far. I didn't emerge from bed until after 9:15 .... once i got up we didnt leave for another hour to go up to the vanuatu history museum, once we arrived we waited for some of the others to join us from the school. In our waiting time adam decided to pretend he was in a music video clip and start singing songs randomly and climbing and jumping off things.... soon enough everyone was joining in singing "lean on me". After this song and several others the others arrived and we went into the museum.

The museum was defiantly not something i would bother to return to if i were to visit vanuatu again... although the sand drawings were amazing to watch being created. And ben had a lovely time on this piano pipe like instrument. For lunch a group of us went to a resort near the church... most of the group enjoyed tapus whilst as always i enjoyed my vanuatu favorite - Hot chips. haha.

After lunch we visited the markets and i was able to start my shopping for everyone back at home. Although at the markets you worry about what wood and shells etc you will be able to get back through customs. I do still need to buy more gifts to take back for my family and friends though, hopefully ill have the opportunity tomorrow.

Tonight was incredible, we split off into pairs and joined in with cell groups from the church where we were invited into their homes. In cell group they say songs and prayed and ate. I was with Dave and we asked them alot of questions about their church and traditions such as baptism and communion. We also talked with them about how things are in australia compared to life over here ... i think they were shocked when i said i often work on a sunday as they take that whole day off...  even the shops are closed here! They gave dave and i lots of fruit to try and they convinced me into trying this fruit that is like a coco that they use to make chocolate ... after trying it im more confused than ever as to how something that tastes that terrible could make something as delicious as chocolate! Although dave and the group all loved seeing my face when i tried this unusual fruit . haha i think i shall stick to normal chocolate from now on!

6 days down. 4 to go!
