Off to school today

Today we're going to visit a bi-lingual school in the city centre. We've made enough filled rolls to sink a battleship this morning. The students have had a room-tidy, swim in the pool and we're about to practice our waiata ' He Honore'. 

Around midday the plan is to bus into Place des Cocotiers right in the middle of town. From there we will walk a short distance up the hill to l'Ecole Frederic Surleau for the afternoon. Then we will walk back into town to find dinner.

It has been a challenge finding suitable places to take a group of twenty to eat. The students have been enjoying their independence, making regular visits to the local boulangerie (bakery for pain-au-chocolat and croissants), and Alimenation (Superette) nearby.

Most restaurants around Anse Vata beach are very expensive, around 3500cfp ($48 NZD) for a main and soft drinks are almost as expensive. We've found a really great pizza and pasta place not far from our hotel that has been very accommodating and welcoming for such a large group. So far they've fed us twice, as has the diner in the other direction. 

A bientot...until next time! (excuse the lack of accents)
