kava

Well, I thought it would actually be a while until I had kava (me smoll fraid) but I went back to the village and decided that when in Rome (or Vanuatu).... Plus it was as fresh as I'ld be able to get, ground from the roots rather than powder (although not ground by using adolescent boys I might add!). My hosts have a kava bar at their garden so although I was a little apprehesive, I had a couple of shells....

It sure is better than the fiji kava we had in Whangarei before I left!

Although its definitely not the beverage for a big knees-up. More a chill-out kind of thing...
