last few days in honiara

After having spent time in Gizo, going back to dusty honiara was a bit of a let down....but we managed to make the most of our last 3 days and we didnt have to bucket shower once in kiwi house the whole 3 days becasue we masde good use of the british high commissioners house and showers! : )

We spent a final few days in NRH A&E dept and had a couple of afternoons at tehy pool (obviously!). Did a bit of souvenir shopping...there isnt much in honiara, but i managed to find a couple of hidden delights!

The main excitement of our last days was our leaving dinner at the british high commissioners house! He invited us there and we had a 3 course meal made by Nelson (his butler). We were being individually waited on. I actually felt a little uncomfortable...it was weird! I tried beef wellington for the first time...yum : ) tehre was british emblem stuff all over the cutlery, the place name labels, EVERYTHING!! so surreal, but very kind of him!
