On Tuesday, 7/17/18 Thierry and I headed back to Tanna airport to catch a flight back to Port Vila for the night. We traveled with Werry and another passenger from New Zealand in his truck and made a few stops along the way. The pictures below are basically of the Narua family compound and our trip back to Tanna Airport.
 |
| Resolution Bay, Tanna Island. A beautiful bay where Capt. Cook first landed in the "New Hebrides" or, as it is known now, the Repuclic of Vanuatu |
 |
| The point at the mouth of Resolution Bay. |
 |
| Must not be too much to do out here ... a stack of "Tusker" beer bottles. |
 |
| The Bluff where Werry Narua's family has its land is above Resolution Bay. It is a very quiet area with chickes and lots of vegetation ... but, fortunatley, not too many mosquitos. |
 |
| The road out near Werry's place... mostly cinder and occasional a little rock. The heavy rains seem to really cause some problems at times. |
 |
| Werry tells Thierry and a guest from New Zealand about the history of the missionaries. He is about to lead us down a path to the grave of one of the missionaries. |
 |
| Moving down into the jungle to view the grave - the moquitoes were very abundant here!!! |
 |
| The grave site. |
 |
| The plaque indicates this is the burial site for Mary Ann and her baby Peter Robson |
 |
| Our transportation about Tanna. |
 |
| A little different view of Resolution Bay. |
 |
| Werry's truck. |
 |
| Typical road view. |
 |
| The cinder field at Yasur Volcano. |
 |
| Yasur Volcano. |
 |
| Ash field that we drive across to get to Resolution Bay |
 | |
|
 |
| Ash fields around the base of Yasur. |
 |
| The country side and the only road to the volcano. |
 |
| Looking back to Mr. Yasur. |
 |
| There is a small portion of the road that is "kind of paved/surfaced." |
 |
| Road construction... |
 |
| Pig crossing road... more important not to hit a pig that it is to hit a human. |
