Nauru South Pacific

Well Nauru is not really somewhere I would suggest you go, unless you are from there or you work there!

However if you were using Air Nauru to get around the Pacific in the 90s you would probably end up spending a night or two there. I spent 3 days there in 1996 enroute from Tarawa to Fiji and for 2 days there was no beer, I'd run out of books (no book shop) and the hotel swimming pool was closed.

There was no real public transport, about 1.5 TV channels, lots of Landrovers and the cheapest cigarettes I've ever found. What is going to happen now the phosphate is running out?
