DAY 22, LEG 89 - Funafuti to Tarawa
Having spent the night in Funafuti, as soon as daylight breaks we head to the airport and prepare the aircraft for departure to Tarawa. Tarawa is the capital of Kiribati, and like Funafuti, is located on one of a number of atolls in the area. Kiribati extends over 1.3 million square miles but has a population of only 103,500. The 32 atolls are served internationally by Bonriki International Airport.
