Marshall Islands
The flight Aloha airlines Boeing 737 - 200, employs more than 4 hours from Honolulu to Majuro.
I and Donato, however we are anxious to get to that paradise. We land in that strip of land is from above, is shaping up very well the atoll, a strip of land shaped u. one street in the center all along, about twenty km. here is the capital of the archipelago, Majuro, with a seat of government and government offices vari. The other atolls are called kuajalein and bikini famous for confetti explode atomic facts for trial.
Just beautiful fresh off the plane from air-conditioning, Jun ladder from us investing gust of hot air at 110 humidity. we do not make time to touch the runway 9 seconds later that sweat already and the goal of my camera is all fogged. that shock.
A nice sign welcomes us and I will take advantage and Donato for a picture. Welcome to Majuro Marshall island.
We discover that all the passengers are the only 2 tourists, all of the other local or military. So now we understand why the outside there are the usual buses to accommodate the tourists, but only auto burglary and one private bus, which then will be what will take us 5 km more in the flame until the tree hotel.
We asked to go cheaper, and it seems that here it is, but the day after we go there, because here we give two singles and a double as we pay in a place more beautiful. The walls are plasterboard, the fan that's in the room has a finger of dust and grease on barbecue, the bath has no sink and mirror, how do I get a beard? in more than a shower does not have the so-called hook and the phone is hanging in, but how is it that nobody has ever noticed here that need some minor repairs? all over at midnight in the corridor, noise a go go. When Donato came the next morning to give me the alarm told me that his room is even worse.
Near there is a 4-star hotel, Outrigger Hotels, a Hawaiian company that was already used to Honolulu, calling the cost, and we see they are promoting a $ 80 camera, which means 40 to the head, Flame tree 25 a head chamber. but wait, Viaaaaaa.
For a little more we have a lot in piu.L 'only thing that the pool was under maintenance, but not matter. The lagoon in front of a giant swimming pool. Donato yesterday, and came from has forgotten his bag on the bus, which was turned back to take other passengers. Moment of panic, money, passport, Donato went down head suddenly hated the Marshall. then with the hitch, a place we both had loaded on the chest of his pick up and gave us a tear to the airport. already in the distance we see the minibuses parked there. Donato rushes and sees something through the window of the bus? Her pouch. All of a sudden is reborn. his face, like chameleons that change color from black oil was pink, pink panther.
I also abbracciato.L 'driver manco he had noticed, and then expect to come back again with him in the country.
Finally start the holidays with confidence we try to organize the days to come, discover that dozens and dozens of cars go up and down the only road dell'atollo, generating some traffic, so they should pay attention nell'attraversar road, This has some incredible. but where is people go by car? we wonder. then we understand that 90% of cars are taxis, which for a dime from 50 cents to the dollar, you bring in the more than 100 meters or even 10 km, and you almost salts on the fly without saying where to go next, only by the money and then say stop here, on board there may be other passengers already.
A nice system for the people, is cheap and you're not moving forced to take the bus (which there is) will buy a car or your bicycle.
Donato and I still try to hire a car to be autonomous, but the only place you could give us one, it offers not only gasoline but did not have the internal and smell of mold, to desist, and ask that a po piu in la where a guy, then we discover that the pilot of the air marshall island, leases of Malaguti 50cc scooter with three wheels, where you sit next to each other. a little funny but effective.
But think you, here at Marshall on the other side of the world is the Italian Malaguti, bene.è a very fun to go with this catorce, people we gain, we see that just arrived on the island and not had never even seen them. The children greeted us and laugh at our passing. and we salute them when driving filmo Donato and step photos, the vegetation is to imagine, banana plants and palm trees everywhere everywhere, not that motivated the pine trees of caldo.Ci stop to ask a guy if we can take a couple of plates from his car in aniegangs home burglary, and he gives him, he does not want anything but we still some U.S. dollar is because the local currency here at Marshall is this.
We are happy because the plates are very beautiful, says Marshall island below.
Arrive until the end dell'atollo, somewhat assordati because the car makes a noise brutish, it seems smarmittato and in terms of vibrations, it is not certain how my electric scooter that I have to Cinquale. We have the vibrate Chiappe there for another 10 minutes after we stopped. I make a bath in the beautiful sea Donato does not feel, Bo? avra his stuff. On the other responds to requests for some guys that are on scooters biricchino.
Under the sea is as always a myriad of colorful fish from the aquarium, with a moray eel and hot water, which show.
We understand because of the fly there are many tourists on this spit of land marvel for divers, Continental Airlines and Aloha Airlines are the prices from dizziness and for this route since we are only at their command the mono, duopoly, or so or anything. Donato and I fortunately had the miles to come up here and we paid a few dollars for the fee.
Even here we see a lot of dirt just outside the houses of the premises, and ask why they say that the usual round of dictator indeed establishing a service for collecting dirt, just a truck that would up and down the only road to once a day , prefer to invest the money to his villa that has nell'atollo next. Mah!
We arrive with our friendly medium, which in reality did not 3 but 5 wheels, 2 more to ensure that curve has not been reversed, to the hotel. shower and eat then we reserve the office of a company of divers to make a day later. The type of texas un'americano (which makes us here?) Is available and despite its 150 kg see brilliant.
We also understand the why of his work, says that when in water, such as whales, feels like a fruscello. Donato and I often go back to the bar of the Flame tree, where the only pool on the island, and we will play in turn. Also always eat them because the price-quality ratio is sustainable.
We start the next day for the excursion in the lagoon by motorboat with driver and even an instructor for me and for the cicciotto Donato. very well.
After quarter of an hour of fast motor boat, we stop with the water flat and without any hurry, we put the bottles and I translate some lessons from English into Italian by Donato, View the inexperience of the field.
