Our Anthropologist, Kirk W Huffman, finally
managed to contact us this week by answerphone message from
the Southern Hemisphere and it was a groundbreaking, historical,
epoch-making event.
Here it is in full:
“Hello Gary,
“This is Kirk here. I’m ringing
you on the film crew’s satellite telephone from the Island
of Malekula in Vanuatu in the middle of the South West Pacific.
“This is probably the first time that
a telephone call has ever been made from here to Spain.
“I hope you are doing well and the
Ibiza History Culture “Whiz-Bang” is going well.
“Best wishes to all the readers. Sorry
I’ve been out of contact for a while, but the filming
has been going well.
“Okay, dokay, put this in the newsletter.
“Hope you are well and everything is
going OK.”
Pictures of Kirk´s adventure have
now arrived from Vanuatu.

them was an e-mail from Kirk’s contact in Vanuatu,
Joy, passing on the news about his exploits which says:
“It was pretty hectic for Kirk and the others while
here, at the festival all day every day and sometimes
part of the evening… and then there was kava to be
fitted in. They were looking pretty tired. I hope they’re
not moving too fast in Malekula (it’d be hard to
do).
“Well, here’s a couple of
small photos to keep you going.
“Best wishes,” Joy (Kaiviti).
