Decided to walk along the main road back to the airport. Where the main town is. The idea was to stock up on some dry food and water.

The water, meanwhile was highly distracting for walking at any good pace. I kept stopping every few steps to get another view.

In terms of infrastructure, it is even beyond Dalanzadgad – the small mining town in Mongolia!

The plane left the runway and crossed the main road which has been duly blocked with cones for us to get to the parking bay.

Now they have to wait for the plane to pass for them to cross. One of them came well prepared with an umbrella in case he got stuck on the other side of the runway.

We just landed in Funafuti. Check out the people gathered around to watch the plane. And further note, there is no fence between them and us!!

If you ran up and down the island – tip to tip – three full round trips, you would have finished your 5K run then!!

The outer ones are on the northwest side.
