Lonely
Planet - Kiribati
Kiribati is more a sprinkling of far-flung coral atolls than dry land, more
deep blue ocean than sandy beach, more coconut trees than people, more Christian
church than ancient island beliefs. Kiribati (pronounced kee-ree-bus ) is
far away, hard to get to, untouristed and deeply religious.
