Young coconuts have either a green shell while mature coconuts are the
more familiar-looking brown, hairy variety. Young coconuts have more
'water' and soft, gel-like meat, and mature coconuts have firm meat and
less 'water.'

Wow, enjoy the luxury in Vanuatu
Vanuatu Luxury Villa is as described, everything was beautiful. So much so it was hard to leave, we spent may a day just staying at the villa as it has everything you need. Our children enjoyed the convenience of having the pool straight out their bedroom door. Not only that the rock pools to feed the tropical fish was a highlight for our children.
Shum and Nellie were wonderful and very so happy to help you anyway they could. It was great to spend time with them to learn about their culture. Having the car to zip into town was an add bonus and gave us the ability to spend time exploring the island.
We all can not wait to visit again, I just hope the villa will be available as we would definitely will visit again. Wow what a place!

Thinking of a Holiday in Tropical Vanuatu...
Vanuatu is a Y-shaped archipelago in the South Pacific and is made up of some 80 islands, with a group of islands stretching over a distance of 900 kilometres.
Being located on the Pacific rim of fire, Vanuatu consists of a young chain of rugged volcanic islands. There are several permanently active volcanoes here, and they are easily accessible, so it makes for an unforgettable holiday experience.
Vanuatu has a population of around 220,000 with the majority being of Melanesian origin. It has a blend of intact travel community infused with a rich English and French influence.
The people of Vanuatu are extremely friendly, and with the Happy Planet Index voting it the happiest country on Earth, once you visit there, it is easy to see why with the laid back lifestyle and abundance of smiles everywhere you go.
Vanuatu is easily accessible by air and is situated very close to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. It’s a very safe and amazing destination with so much to see and do. There are many exciting adventures and activities for every kind of traveller. Its pristine white sand beaches give way to an amazing underwater playground with wrecks from World War II, the islands of Vanuatu are a diver’s dream come true.
Most of the islands offer all kinds of water activities due to the perfect water temperature year round and the huge array of fish and sea life.
Above the water, you can experience Vanuatu however you like. You could choose a horseback ride along the beach, zip from village to market in an open buggy, or leave it to one of the many fantastic tour companies who can guide you to waterfalls and trek through lush rainforest. The choice is endless.
Finding accommodation in Vanuatu is all so simple. Whatever your budget, you can definitely find something to make this your perfect escape. If you’re after a private, relaxing getaway, many islands offer beachfront bungalows with whimsical water views, or you could choose to stay at one of the many three, four or five star resorts. Don’t worry if that is a little out of your price range, there are many smaller resorts and apartments to choose from, even backpackers and the newest style of accommodation, flash backers.
Vanuatu is a must see destination and all the family will have a great time here. It’s the perfect place to chill out by the pool, mix with the locals or even go on an all-out adventure. I’m Amelia Armistead in the happiest place on Earth.

The people of Vanuatu are extremely friendly and happy
Vanuatu has a blend of intact tribal communities infused with a rich English and French influence. The people of Vanuatu are extremely friendly and happy. The Happy Planet Index voted it the happiest country on earth and once you visit there it's easy to see why with the laid back lifestyle and abundance of smiles everywhere you go...The fact that the diet of locals here consists entirely of organic foods may also have something to do with it.

Vanuatu Fiji or Bali
Well Fiji has been such a popular destination for so long but after what has happened there over the last week will more travelers choose to visit Vanuatu or will they still go to Bali in Droves.
With Todays economic downturn and this latest action by the Government Fiji's Tourism has hit a major hurdle and this will probably be the nail in the coffin and I cant see it recovering for along time.
Bali's Tourism is at its highest level ever with Australians flocking there... Australian travelers to Bali during the first two months of 2009 totaled 48,068 a 34.64% increase over the same period in 2008 (35,701).
South East Asia is cheap, has great food, amazing cultures and great weather. There are so many cheap flights hitting those areas and many deals on offer.
For the Gen X and Gen Y it has become a no brainer as to where to visit.
The South Pacific is a beautiful place, but if the Area wants to jump up to the plate and try and attract more Tourist away from Asia then it really needs to do some dramatic changes in its New Media and Marketing to make it a viable proposition for the Tourist.
If it keeps promoting itself like it does then tourist $$$ they are targeting will be coming from an Older crowd.. I have nothing against that but for South Pacific Tourism to become cool and attract a younger demographic crowd it needs more than a few websites and Brochures.. These are great but so Old Skool.
Things will become very hard over the next 12 months and many Business's relying on tourist dollar will strugle. Some will stay afloat and some will sink.
Hopefully The Beautiful South Pacific will keep treading water long enough until the No's start to flow through the airports again.
Peace :)
