I’m finally leaving Honiara tomorrow and I’m looking forward to getting away from the rubbish. My flatmate, Gary and I will fly into a place called Suavano on Northern Isabel. Suavano consists of a paddock... that’s all. One of the local boys from Kia will hopefully pick us up from there and take us an hour up the coast by boat, into the lagoon and to Kia. Gary is a little apprehensive as to what we’ll find when we get to the house. At high tide the floor boards sit about six inches above the water and with the tsunami, the place might be a little wet.
Once there we have a bit of an orientation planned including such dreadful things as spear-fishing for tuna and checking out the surf breaks (weather dependant). My next blog will be from the Arnavon Islands Community Marine Conservation Area where I’ll be slaving away, swimming with the turtles. Island life is so hard.
