Manihi, 7-21-2017--Motu hike

By David

We finally found time to do a hike to the motu southeast of the village.  A fun hike about 1/2 mile across the hoa.

Looking across the coral hoa toward the distant motu.

After half an hour of mostly wading, we approach the motu.

And are greeted by a pig

All the land is coral-based

Bits of dead coral washed in from the sea form a sort of gravel surface

Palms on the lagoon side of the motu
