Johnny's Store

This is the only store that we saw on Fanning Island. It is next to the area where the cruise line has built its facilities.

The store has basic supplies that the local people can purchase such as canned goods. It also has a selection of t-shirts and other souvenirs for the tourists off the ship. I bought some stamps at the store. As you can imagine, Republic of Kiribati stamps are not common and are collectible.

Many of the other passengers were also buying postcards to mail back home. We were told that a post card would take about four months to get to a North American address.
