Big Crab and Fire Show

Neville and Gloria's daughter Anna was visiting last week so we all went out for dinner on Thursday night, John and Rosemaree came too. We saw this very big coconut crab at the restaurant, still very much alive and rearing up whenever anyone got close. Those pincers would easily take your finger off!

 John and Rose flew up to Malekula on Friday afternoon for about 2 weeks, but N, G, Anna and we went to the fire dance at Mele Beach on Friday night for Anna's last night here. We had all seen these performers before at various locations around Port Vila, but the show they do on the beach is the best. Very athletic, fun and spectacular.

The group is called Vanua Fire which started as an amateur group. After getting help from Wan Smol Bag Theatre to get them started they are now self-supporting. They perform almost every night of the week at different resorts, varying the show dependent on the location. The beach location allows them to use a tall steel frame so they can show off their considerable acrobatic skill.

On Friday we got mail! Very exciting, thank you family and friends 😀. It's always lovely to hear news from home.
