Shaped like a two-sided triangle, Tarawa Atoll is the administrative centre of Kiribati. The atoll is divided into North and South Tarawa; the south is the locus of all government activity and services, while the rural north approximates an outer- island experience. South Tarawa is home to more than a third of Kiribati's population, most of whom live clustered in open-sided huts on the islet of Betio at the westernmost tip of the atoll. Betio was the site of a bloody victory over the Japanese by US marines in 1943; it still has huge guns along its beaches and rusting tanks just offshore.

Tarawa is extremely hot all day long, but thankfully the female receptionist who took us on the tour had arranged for an air conditioned car including driver. The driver didn’t speak a word of English, so it all came down to the receptionist (her name was Sonia).
The atoll (part of the Gilbert Islands chain) is basically comprised of a lot of very narrow islands surrounding a lagoon in a triangular form. The northern and eastern parts are difficult to reach, and most of the population is centred in the southern strip of islands. There are over 25,000 people sandwiched on Tarawa!
