Mystery Island,Vanuatu

We were a bit excited to hear that we would be stopping in Vanuatu. If you're a Survivor fan, you might remember that they were on Vanuatu one season. Of course, once you learn more about all these South Pacific Islands, you realize that they are all made up of a LOT of islands. Vanuatu, 80 islands. Sooooooo I'm guessing we weren't on the "Survivor" island at all when we docked at Mystery Island.

(Side note: This actually happened before we hit the Int'l Dateline and the Equator but I didn't want to wait to post about those momentous happenings. LOL)

 As you might imagine, when there are 80 islands making up an entity, they are all very small. We walked about 3/4 of the way around the island before deciding to make the snorkeling plunge. 


While on our walk, we saw about a zillion sea cucumbers!

And this beautiful blue starfish!

Never seen such a brilliantly colored starfish!

 We explored the underwater world:






So while we didn't get to see the settings of Survivor, we did get to see all the beauty that Mystery Island had to offer.
