🌴 Exploring Fongafale, Tuvalu

🚲 Biking Around the Island (25km Adventure!) Size? Just 2 km², but the long, narrow shape makes it a 5-hour bike ride! No ATMs? Still unsure if one exists... 💸 Random Finds: Abandoned trucks turned into playgrounds 🚛🎪 WWII ruins hidden behind a "romantic" blue house (left = garbage dump 🗑️, right = history!) Local kids at the port who demanded photos (and loved the results! 📸) 🍖 Food & Culture BBQ stalls (expensive but tasty!) Milk Iced Coffee (SUGAR BOMB! 5 AUD/bottle) No "personal space" concept? Locals are super friendly – they’ll: Wave if you park in their driveway 🏡 Invite you to sit if you accidentally steal their spot 🪑 Chat even if you walk into their open homes 🗣️ (Coming from Tokyo, this was a culture shock!) ⛪️ Bonus: A Church Wedding! Stumbled upon a local wedding on the way back – pure island vibes! 💒 #Tuvalu #OffTheGrid #IslandLife 🏝️
