Funafuti, the largest island and the site of the capital, has only one road, which runs around the island. The road is paved with stone and lined with coconut and banana trees, whose broad, close leaves, brimming with a rich, tropical exuberance, obscure the view of the traditional grass huts behind.
以首都所在的最大島﹘﹘富那富提島來說，島上只有一條環島道路，路面鋪著石頭，兩旁椰樹與芭蕉葉闊而密，洋溢著濃濃的熱帶風情，也掩住了樹後的傳統草屋。
