Do you know that there is another Christmas Island on the Indian Ocean?
I have been there before – see my private web page for the pictures…
The Christmas Island on the Pacific where I am at the moment was discovered and named by famous cpt James Cook in the Christmas Eve of 1777… He landed on the little islet at the entrance to the lagoon. Now there is the reserve of the sea birds… If you want to go there pay first 10 AUD (this is the currency of Kiribati) at the wildlife office in London. Then rent a motorboat (70 AUD after bargaining) and sail to the Cook Island where cpt Cook landed.
It is worth! There are terns and frigate birds – thousands of them! They are so courious by your presence that they are coming almost to your hands…
