Two days camping on the edge of a coconut palm clad beach, kayaking with dolphins each morning, snorkling, kayak surfing great food and wine and a neat bunch of friends - all for $10 seems too good to be true especially here in the Solomons where travel and accomodation is notoriously expensive.
Last weekend we hired a recreational area 1/2 hr from Honiara with a bunch of friends and went on our first camping trip in Solomons. We all had to go out and buy cheap (and as it turned out) a little dodgey tents from a local Chinese store - consequently looking like a matching group of girl guides. Had a fantastic weekend, beautiful weather, bon fires on the beach, kayak surfing waves and each morning enjoying the visit of a large pod(50-80) of dolphins who we kayaked amongst.
We've all promised ourselves we must go back soon!!
