Solomon Islands

It’s fun. It’s an adventure. It’s historic. How do they make so many cakes? How do they make banana chips taste like potato? Where is that tank?

Get out. Get a 4WD and get out beyond Honiara and the ordinary hotels. The people are very friendly – have a chat! Learn a bit of pidgin before you go – it’ll go a LONG way.

You may occasionally see foreign soldiers in Honiara. Don’t worry – they’re only peacekeepers.

Pack you snorkel and fins!

just a random spot that i happen to click on but looks nice. Possibly someday.

Work trip and didn’t get to do much fun stuff at all :( Did a couple of hours snorkelling though, it was ace.

I went to the Solomon Islands on a family holiday when I was 9. I have distant memories of swimming at the beach, hikes through the jungle and watching Islanders climb coconut trees and harvest green coconuts.

I have fond memories of this holiday.

Beautiful Islands, with little tourism, laid back and sunny.
