Visit to Abatoa

The road on South Tarawa ends at the inlet between Bouta and Abatoa. Abatoa is the southern most island of North Tarawa and is less populated than South Tarawa.  There is no traffic and the road is more of a path. There are a couple of bridges between some of the islands but they are both called broken bridges. The senior missionary couples went together to the first broken bridge.


The "road" (path) is shown below. No motorized vehicles were seen. An occasional bicycle is all that we saw.  The first picture below shows motel rooms that are for rent.



The girl in the center of the section below is getting water from a well. The well is about six feet deep and accesses the fresh water lens that is above the salt water in the ground. She is using a pole, string and tin can to get the water.
Elder and Sister Waldron, Elder and Sister Bogh, Elder Wall and Elder and Sister Baber are shown below. Sister Wall took the picture.
