Day two on the Tanami complete. The road improved a lot, they had recently been out with the graders so it was good going. We were able to sit at about 75km /h most of the time. Didn't quite make the NT/WA border today, but should be around Wolfe creek meteor crater tomorrow[END]

Leaving Wallis today for passage to Fiji. We should arrive into Savusavu by Sunday afternoon if all goes to plan. For anyone even thinking of visiting Wallis, our advice is - just do it! More info in the blog.

The best snorkeling is on the eastern reef of Nukuatea Island, where turtles graze, Manta rays play and hundreds of different kinds of fish inhabit hundreds of different types of coral. We had to pinch ourselves to see if it was real. It was like watching a fairy tale brought to life. The reef is made up of much larger versions of the coral we saw in Tonga and the reef fish are larger here too. It seems someone took all the fish and coral from the whole of Tonga, enlarged them and plonked them all in one reef in Wallis! Wow! On a more practical note, the supermarkets here are like heaven compared to anything in Tonga. Plus we got our first decent rain in 3 months on Tuesday night so managed to fill up our water tanks and do all the washing using the water in the dinghy. A real bonus :-) We live in a wonderful world.
