  • Christmas Island – A perfect sandy beach

    The world has a few Christmas Islands scattered around, but this one has a beach that gives new meaning to the idea that “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas”.  It’s an unused, 4″ x 8-1/4″ card.  Grade: 1

  • Images of Christmas Island – Mauri

    Four images on an unused 4″ x 8-1/4″ card.  “Mauri” in Kiribati seems equivalent to “Hello” or “Greetings”, for a first meeting or after awhile, and is printed as the background on the reverse.  Please do remember this particular Christmas Island is part of Kiribati.  Grade: 1

  • Christmas Island – four images – Mauri

    Several in this series of cards look similar at first glance, but just look closely.  This unused, 4″ x 8-1/4″ card has the Kiribati greeting “Mauri” as the background on the reverse.  Grade: 1

    Christmas Island – five images – Mauri
  • Christmas Island – five images with sunset – Mauri

    At least we think it’s a sunset; there’s a 50% chance.  Several in this series of cards look similar at first glance, but just look closely.  This unused, 4″ x 8-1/4″ card has the Kiribati greeting “Mauri” as the background on the reverse.  Grade: 1

  • North Tarawa, Tabon Te Keekee Homestay

    This unused, 4″ x 8-1/4″ card has the Kiribati greeting “Mauri” as the background on the reverse.  As for the homestay itself, it doesn’t have many online reviews, and the term “rustic” appears often.  We could tolerate that, but are unlikely to have the chance.   Grade: 1

  • (Five) Images of Tarawa, with Taiwan Park

    Unused 4″ x 8-1/4″ card with the Kiribati greeting “Mauri” as background on the reverse.  One traveler’s website writes this about Taiwan Park:  “Taiwan Park is a small park for picnics on the side of the road.

  • Buota, South Tarawa

    Here’s the entire Wikipedia entry about Buota, unchanged:  “Buota is an islet and a settlement on the island of Tarawa, Kiribati.  There are 1,756 inhabitants (2015). The islet is the southernmost part of North Tarawa even if there is a bridge connecting it to Bonriki and South Tarawa.”  Small islet, small entry, lots of water.  Unused 4″ x 8-1/4″ card.  Grade: 1

  • Christmas Island (Kiritimati), Beach Resort

    The unused 4″ x 8-1/4″ postcard’s caption is unfortunately generic, and after awhile the various resorts’ facilities do tend to look similar.  If you can accept that, you might enjoy lazing around on this beach.  We would!  Grade: 1

  • The stunning lagoon on Christmas Island

    Our header for this unused, 4″ x 8-1/4″ card is the card’s own caption.  We don’t doubt that it’s stunning but at the same time manages to look a bit … bleak.  Grade: 1

  • Christmas Island, Cook Island, Bird Conservation Area

    Unless one knows geography of that area very, very well, it is easy to be confused by similar names for disparate places.  Trust us that what we’re showing here on this unused 4″ x 8-1/4″ card is part of Kiribati.  Grade: 1

  • North Tarawa, two palm trees

    We understand why these cards don’t try to pin down an exact location, and have no issue with that decision.  Sometimes it would be fun to know which beach, which latitude, or something identifiable.  For now, this will do.  The card, like other, measures 4″ x 8-1/4″ and is unused.  Grade: 1
