Where Exactly?
Maps to show you where we're at!
Unless you've been to the Solomon Islands it's hard to appreciate just how small & remote it is. Honiara is the only major city amongst nearly 1000 islands that form the country. When we know where we're going to be living we'll update our Google Earth links, but until then you can view the hospital & our favourite (& only) cafe! ------------ A good source of general information is Wikipedia. We'll be living in a tropical climate, with average daytime temperatures around 29 degrees and very high humidity. Evenings may be as cool as 19 degrees (if we're lucky!). There are no defined seasons but November to May are wetter months and squalls and cyclones may occur. The goLongSolo Homepage has a weather panel that updates regularly to show just how uncomfortably stifling our island "paradise" is!
