Gizo
We then flew to Gizo (the second largest town in the Solomons) where we stayed for 5 nights. The flight itself was breathtaking looking down on some of the 970 plus islands that make up the Solomons. The colours of the ocean were incredible. Our hotel here was on the waterfront and there was much to watch from the 'leaf haus' restaurant.We had two wonderful trips from Gizo organised by Danny and Kerrie Kennedy - one was to Kennedy Island where J F Kennedy was shipwrecked in World War II when his PT109 was sliced in half by a Japanese ship and another to beautiful beaches where we swam and snorkelled. The abundance of fish life on the reefs was amazing - such beautiful colours. We also walked to a high point behind Gizo to view the ocean and the reefs. Again, everywhere, the people were so kind and friendly.

At last time to leave Gizo and join our small 20-seater 'plane for the flight to the remote, uninhabited island of Ballalae. Brian and Liz Baldwin and Bill and Kate Davies had joined the flight in Honiara and we met them while the 'plane was refuelling at Gizo.
