On September 18, 2012, Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Tuvalu as part of Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Tuvalu (consisting of nine islands and atolls combined) is located north of the islands of Wallis and Futuna as well as Fiji in the South Pacific.  Yeah, it is a beautiful place.  Buggy however… though not as bad as it is in Tahiti.   🙂  And, the islands are disappearing thanks to global warming.
