They're some of the
most pristine islands in the Pacific, if you're willing to overlook the fact that the US
military has conducted 23 nuclear tests on one of them. But the rest of them are as
beautiful as ever and it is safe to go there but carry anti-radiation pills with you.
(Just kidding). The Marshalls take up an enormous amount of space for a country of people
numbering less than 70,000 and one which actually has very little land.
It's full of gorgeous
beaches, diving spots, WWII ruins, lagoons and underwater life that'll blow your mind
away. Add to that extremely friendly people, and your holiday is made.
