Description: Lynn and John Salmon's 5-part narrative of their 1997 trip to Pitcairn.
You Can't Get There From Here Trip to the Pitcairn Islands (Part 1 of 5) Actually, you can; it just takes time and a little luck. Pitcairn Island is one of those magical places that is quite real, but has an almost fictional aura. It's a tiny volcanic rock in the middle of the South Pacific. It's inhabited by descendants of the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions. It derives much of its income from philately, yet receives mail (and all other goods from the outside) only three or four times per year. Its coastline is one of the least hospitable on earth, yet its people must be among the friendliest. It's extraordinarily hard to get there, and even after travelling thousands of miles many travelers are forced to turn back a few hundred meters short of their goal due to impossible conditions in Bounty Bay.
