RA-V Missions

Funafuti, Tuvalu

Due to the available flights, we were only in Tuvalu for one full day, so after we checked in and had some lunch, we immediately headed off to the met service for work. We walked back to the airport, and after crossing the runway, the met service was right there.

Crossing the runway to get to the met office.

It was a condensed version of what we did at each of the other countries, but by now we were pros in going through our respective spiels, so it was relatively easy to trim the fat.

I do remember also offering technical support for someone trying to serve a website using Microsoft’s IIS. I don’t know why I remember this. I think it was because he was one of the keener ones we’ve met: when we invited them to Melbourne he was always asking questions and intently following on (might also be because I never saw anyone use ISS before, and I was curious about how it works).

After leaving, crossing the runway once again, we heading back to the hotel and pretty much took is easy that evening.
