Tuvalu islands

Tuvalu is a group of low-lying islands and atolls in the South Pacific that form the fourth smallest country in the world. Tuvalu formerly known as the Ellice Islands, is a Polynesian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, about midway between Hawaii and Australia, lying east-northeast of the Santa Cruz Islands (belonging to the Solomons), southeast of Nauru, south of Kiribati, west of Tokelau, northwest of Samoa and Wallis and Futuna and north of Fiji. It is generally believed that the earlier ancestors came mostly from Samoa, possibly by way of Tokelau, while others came from Tonga and Uvea (Wallis Island). These settlers were all Polynesians with the exception of Nui where many people are descendants of Micronesians from Kiribati. Tuvalu has a population around 11,000.
Tuvalu is not a destination for those in search of spectacular sightseeing opportunities : no architectural heritage, few beaches and basic level of accomodation.
