Simex

On our last visit to Port Vila I had made a quest to meet the Mataso Printmakers. We had become good friends with Simeon Shem, nickname Simex who is one of the artists and we had sent him a parcel of art supplies when we had got back to Brisbane. On this trip we were armed with new supplies of art materials to give Simex as they are very expensive and difficult to get hold of in Port Vila. We went to the Anchor Inn, a local watering hole, where Simex's sister in law, Rimi works to let him know we were in town. The next day Simex turned up at the hotel to greet us.
