the Solomon Islands

In Southwestern Pacific Ocean, northeast of Australia, there is a town called Honiara that was developed from the World War II from the site of US military base. Now is the capital of Solomon Islands, an archipelago of about 1000 islands that is said to be inhabited from 2000 BC and only explored by the Spanish in 1568, finally independent in 1978. ##2023travelwish #lucaworldtraveler
