Kiribati Campus Visit

Rented a car on Sunday for a drive around Tarawa. We didn't realised until we got in the car that it was out of petrol! We had the E sign on for a good 15 minutes in our search for the nearest petrol station. We passed by 2 stations but they were both out of gas. Our only hope was the Betio (pronounced Besio) Petrol Station which was next to the Punjas wharehouse. We breathed a sigh of relief when we found out that they had petrol. We were almost on the brink of a car emergency!! Whew!! Then we were off to the war memorial from WWII. It was here that 22 English, Australian and NZ soldiers were beheaded by Japanese soldiers on 15th October, 1942. Then we were off to take more war relic pics. - guns mostly then it was off to the end of urban Tarawa, Bonriki airport direction. Took some pics! then we had a relaxing moment at the Ontiitaai Hotel. Then it was back to the lodge and of course looking forward to our gourmet dinner later in the evening. Then we sat to watch a DVD movie - Steam Boy. But we were just so tired so we didn't make it to the end.
