Buggy fun

Monday night was the General Manager’s cocktail party and welcome buffet, as many people arrive over the weekend. The GM introduces the various resort department managers and local tour operators promote their tours – sightseeing tours, fishing trips, diving expeditions, parasailing, etc. Tickets were given to all guests for a chance to win two for one offers on various tours, and we won for the Buggy Fun Adventure tour on Tuesday afternoon!

So after a quick wander in to town and a quick refreshing dip in the pool we were taken to the buggy rental office to get our buggies. Surprising the tour started in Vila, so we had to drive through town to get to the jungle, which was surprising and a little scary!

But once we got out of town the tour was lots of fun. Driving our own buggies (there were five couple in convoy) we headed off through a bit of jungle, through a few villages and down to our first stop on a black sandy beach. then on to our next stop for some refreshements. The third leg took us through the most adventurous part, down some verywet,  muddy tracks through jungle and then a cattle plantation. The tour guide says you will get muddy and they were right, except for one French couple who remained remarkably clean.

Finally we headed back in to town, driving the buggies right up the main street of Vila! Back to the office, then back to the resort to shower and unwind at happy hour. A fab fun day!

Today’s weather looks like a good pool day. I’m off!
