V for Vanautu
As I googled for more places to add to my wishlist, I chanced upon Vanautu - a lovely little archipelago near Australia, in the South Pacific. I am not sure if I will ever visit this place, but by the looks of it, it has a lovely history and some great local fresh food. French and English are the official languages along with Bislama which is the national language.
What intrigued me most is the national dish - Lap Lap - a recipe made with taro paste and coconut milk and steamed in banana leaves. It's said that most food here is steamed and there's very little fried food. As I wondered if I can ever get to Vanautu by air as I am not too fond of traveling by sea, I did note that they have a cute little airport and is well-connected to Auckland, Australia, Japan and USA. There is hope after all.

ReplyDeleteLiving in Australia, this place has been on my list but I am not sure if I would make it there before I move away from here :( My wish list for V is Vietnam (Ha Long bay has been calling my name for too long)
ReplyDeleteI have been to Vanuatu and it is really beautiful. The beaches are very clean with pristine water.
ReplyDeleteThe native people of Vanuatu are very friendly and courteous.
