I don't know his name but ain't he a cutie? I tried to show him his photo after I took it but I don't think he understood. Pity I didn't get a photo of him actually smiling! (Damn camera took too long to take the picture)

Oogalah Boogalah!!

These little fellas were quite a common sight around Iririki Island and Port Vila

We did the Coongoola cruise last week...
... and thoroughly enjoyed it! We didn't have anyone ignorant enough to stand on the coral, but a good mix of people and a great day was had by all. We were accomppanied by dolphins most of the way back to the buses! Amazing!! I love your photos!
