This is the Chief's house at Louneil
and he kindly gave it to the PCANZ team,
to use as accommodation for General Assembly.


The windows are from one of the vehicles, 
which are dotted around the village.


Neville got the bed on the floor 
because he snores!!


One  of the Chinese water tanks from Port Vila 
has made its way to the cook house at 
Louneil village  


The fog arrived on day 4 of the General Assembly 
and it got cooler 


The vegetables were put inside the truck for 
safe keeping so,
the pigs didn't get to eat them.

We got to go to the Volcano on Tanna.
It's known as Yasur. 


You drive up to with in a short walking 
distance to the crater.


It was about 40 minutes to drive from Louneil to Yasur.
It seem like we were driving on sand but, it is ash from the Volcano.


We got up at 3.30am to go up to the Volcano





This is were the men sit and tell their stories
and make conversation, around the fire to keep warm.
 This is back in the village of Louneil.


This is a common site around the island of Vanuatu
