We have arrived at the most primative stop on our trip so far. Christmas Island, Kiribati.
The flight from Pago Pago is 1276 nm taking about 8 hours. It was quite different than our previous Pacific legs as there are no island, no reefs - nothing but deep blue sea. It was amazing to be talking to San Francisco on the HF radio - clear as a bell - from over 3000 miles out.
Staying at the Captain Cook Hotel is "different" - quite run down but the people are very nice and helpful. We are now off to buy the most expensive avgas in the world. $4.65 Australian per liter. We need 400 liters and I don't want to do the mathematics on that.........
Next will be Honolulu, Hawaii
