The bed was comfortable. But where is my paid breakfast? – It will come when public boat will come to the atoll. Maybe at 11 am Pacific Time… It means you have to survive on your food – if you have some…
Only 2400 people live on Arno Atoll. They have one little shop, there cars and one sandy road going end to end of the main island. There is more then hundered little island (motus) surrounding the beautiful lagoon. The color of the water is hard to describe: changing fron turquoise to the deep blue.
People live from fishing and harvesting copra – the white meat of coconuts. It is not huge income… But they are very nice and hospitable. They are returning smiles and ready to chat – but the knowledge of English is much worse than in Majuro – the capital island.
I was walking along the main island – from house to house, greeeting them in their language: Yokwe! Taking pictures on their tiny houses, their work and their faces. Especially kids are lovely and pretty here. Great place in the middle of Pacific!
