Landing over Tarawa is a beautiful moment...
After an hour in the sky South of Majuro, we reach Tarawa...
I'll be sleeping down there...
View on arrival at Dreamers...
And the small airport, full of friendly people...
The big bird, only 2 hours late...
Welcome to South Tarawa...

Sad reality all around these islands...
Most are roaming freely...
First dinner in Kiribati...
No luxury around here... But super friendly hosts...

What I'm impressed... Is you see the full island sweeping in the morning...
 ... And I saw many many more...
Just to prove my point...

Fishes and friendly people everywhere...

Sad reality in this part of the world...
Back from fishing...

Impressive, even 80 years later...
