This book provides a travel guide to the many islands within the South Pacific, some of them look real special places to visits, this book provides endless information on the places, transportation, food etc all in one place. The structure of the book as been well planned out before publication, the front cover is nice, fresh, attractive, which you dream the South Pacific to be. No editorial errors. Maybe the bok does not go into the depth (informatin wise) that you would get from an individual book about a country. But the book is a good starting point towards learning about the South Pacific.

OK, so, obviously, one does not READ a lonely planet like other books from cover to cover.

This one I got mostly for the New Caledonia section which was interesting and informative though rather slim running from 150-195. I did get some useful information out if it, though one needs to treat the info cautiously as it is an old version (6th edition, 2016) and the aging will be more noticeable as it was published before covid, which has changed all travel landscapes significantly.

It has inspired me a lot though, to start working my way through the Pacific islands. That was my goal as a teenager, but that go side-tracked when I fell in love with other travel destinations. Time to take up the Pacific island challenge again? Maybe so!
