hola!! okay so we made it to Utupua and back in one piece!! think of the best place in the world and then multiply it by 10! it was absolutely unreal!! proper island village feel....the boat ride started off good, lots of ups and downs!! we trave;lled at night time so all the stars were out!! so so so so many stars!! we could see the milky way!! and we saw the moon rise!! we didnt even know that was possible!! it was stunning!! but there was a lot of sea sickness!! but we made it.....we got to ride in a canoe, swim in a beautiful waterfall, teach english and science, treat patients, eat loads of local food, make beautiful friends, go fishing and catching fish!! and it was so basic, we had to wash outside, use mangrove trees as toilets!!! hahaha....what an experience!! its crazy to think how remote these people are, there is no other way of getting to them other than boat and if the sea is rough you cannot get there!! it really was such an amazing adventure and we were very lucky to have gone....for people ever reading the blog in future who are planning to go to solomons they must try and visit the outer islands in the temotu province as the life is so different to anywhere else! everyone is so friendly and open to you, the children are so much fun and life is simple and free of worries! oh and we saw a shooting star!!
so boat ride back was better in terms of sea, less bumpy but so hot, we got baked in the sun so much!! so now we are back to lata life, enjoying swimming in the sea and the fresh water source and seeing patients and just doing what we can!!
