Vanuatu
 
Primitive rituals, dramatic land divers, and volcanoes that rise out of the sea. Vanuatu, formerly the Anglo French condominium of the New Hebrides is the untouched paradise of the South Pacific. There are 83 tropical islands that lie peacefully in the South Pacific Ocean.
 
Vanuatu consists of tropical rainforests, breathtaking jungle waterfalls, hot springs, unique coral gardens and crystal clear waters teeming with exotic marine life. Vanuatu is sometimes called the timeless islands; it is a gentle peaceful place with an easygoing uncomplicated way of life.
 
I visited Vanuatu in February 1993 as part of a 10-night cruise on board P&O's Fairstar:
