Favorite thing: The northern forest and getting there on a bicycle. Cycle to and then through the forest, then reach a fantastic white powdery sand beach that squeeks when you walk on it.
Fondest memory: The sillhouetted fruitbats in Wete flying from palm to palm as the sun went down.
The secret beaches we found after cycling.
The crowded and good-natured Daladala rides around the island. Scary-fast but quite an adventure (you can hail them on any road and even put your bike on the roof).
