Blue Lagoon and Aelan Chocolate Factory | Port Vila, Vanuatu

On Part 2 of our Tamanu Tour, we went to the Aelan Chocolate Factory to sample some prize-winning smoky chocolates from a Vanuatu island near the volcano and then to blue lagoon to bathe in crystal-clear blue waters. This was a birthday trip for Rob's mum, Toni, but we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

WHO WE ARE
We are Nicole and Rob. Nicole was born in the Philippines and Rob in Australia, but through the magic of the internet we met each other more than a decade ago and eventually ended up getting married. We moved from Melbourne, Australia to Maastricht, the Netherlands two years ago, taking the leap across continents to see more of Europe. This vlog is primarily a way for us to document this special time in our lives, but it's great to have you along for the ride as well.

GEAR
We're still learning how to create content with the least amount of gear, so this is bound to change. Nicole is a bit of a gearhead, so she's always trying out new tech. Here's a list of cameras we use regularly, but we very rarely bring all of them on a trip.
