If I had to pick one photo to sum up our honeymoon, it would be this one.
We started our holiday nice and early which made me glad that we'd rested on the Sunday after the wedding and chose to depart on the Monday instead. Two good friends were apartment and cat-sitting for us, and dropped us to the airport, where we sweet talked our newlywed way into exit row seats... with champagne. Huzzah!
We left a very wet and miserable Sydney and took off into a beautiful clear blue sky as we travelled the short 3hr 15min flight to Port Vila.
And it has to be one of the tiniest airports I think I've ever been in... with the exception of Hilo in Hawaii, that is. When we boarded, it was around 10o celcius (hellooooo, winter) and when we landed, it was close to 30o celcius (hellooooo, tropics!) - this was exactly the reason why we chose somewhere out of Australia for our honeymoon.
We were welcomed at the jetty by a traditionally dressed chief, and handed a welcome drink as we checked in to our accommodation. We had the choice of booking an apartment style room or a traditional island fare, and we went with the latter.
Since the sun was setting, we enjoyed watching it go down behind the ocean from our balcony. We could've gone to find some food in one of the local restaurants, but opted to order room service and relax instead.
Let the honeymooning begin!
