There is almost nothing to buy that is produced in Nauru, except for some paperweights made from Nauru phosphate rock. • There are no tours and no public transport in Nauru so you'll need to either get a local to take you to Topside or have your own wheels. It's too far to walk from "town“ or either of the hotels. • You can go hiking • There is only one restaurant in Nauru, the Bay restaurant You can sit out front facing the sea, in the main room, in a very cool AC room, or in back in a "tropical" setting. Specialties are pizza and Indian food.
