I was driving yesterday 9 hours 4WD car to reach hard-to-get beaches and viewpoints on the Christmas Island. Toyota RAV cost me 65 AUD per 24 hours plus fuel – not bad… Tracks pass through the lush jungle full of mosquitos and… crabs. Landscape is beautiful and the island is not as destroyed by exploitation of phosphates as Nauru…
Today I attended here the service in the catholic church – can you imagine – on the Christmas island they have not a single priest! There were like 25 persons including me…
People on the streets of the only settlement on the island smile to the stranger! Why don’t we in our Europe?
It is stormy and rainy today – I hope that the plain tomorrow will arrive anyway and will take me back to Australia…
