Why Vacation in Nauru?

In case you wondered ...

Who will surely reveal all before your next vacation.

And what's the betting that Myoarin will be introducing pedalo trips
any time now?

You might need to explain this one to us, Bryan, as Nauru doesn't seem
to be mentioned anywhere on the site.

Did you perhaps mean "Why vacation in Chernobyl?"

or "Why vacation in Eromanga?"

No, Roger, it's not on Quezi yet ...

But maybe anytime soon?

Seems an interesting place!

Great suggestion, Bryan.

I envisage tourists' arriving one day, taking a day to overcome jet
lag and then pedaling around the island easily the next day (the only
road being along the coast. A day for shopping and sunbathing, and
then flying on to somewhere else in the area to justify the cost of
the major flight to get to Nauru.

Divers (maybe also snorkelers) could spend two weeks exploring the
reef that surrounds the island. I haven't yet discovered if the reef
and underwater wildlife are particularly interesting, but just being
able to tell the folks back home that one swam around the whole island
should do enough for one's ego to make the trip worth the expense.

This suggests that the tourist authority establish an annual swimming
race around the island (perhaps 25 km outside the reef), which could
eventually attract thousands. The really attractive thing about this
is that people with ambitions about long distance ocean swimming
would be within a safe distance from land at all times. The venue
would also allow different classes of swimmers to start at different
points on the coast, avoiding a single hectic mass start and allowing
for handicapping, which would let people to qualify for or more
challenging position in the next year's race, good for return
tourism.

Hey, this could become a big thing, maybe not the NYC Marathon, but
the challenge that Aussie ocean swimmers have been waiting for.

I haven't checked out the risk of sharks around Nauru, but I think a
shark watch with sharpshooters (of course, a prize for the most shot)
would take care of that and be an additional attraction.

Brilliant, Myo, as always!

When shall we go over and sort things out?

50:50 split: my brains and your money?

"50:50 split: my brains and your money? "

Okay. You can have half of each check (carefully measured to the mm
down the middle), and I'll get a cleaver.

Whoops! I oversaw the colon, but you can still have one half of each
check.

It took a while, but Quezi proudly presents:

"Why vacation in Nauru?"

I can't wait to go!

Looks good, Roger, well done!
