Queens Baton in Kiribati & the Cook Islands

Since the Queens Baton relay has entered the Oceania Region it has visited Nauru, Kiribati, Nuie, Cook Islands and as of today the baton has reached Tonga. Each country being excited to have the baton some people went as far as wear traditional outfits for the occasion.

Travelling to the remote tropical islands of #Kiribati, our smiling batonbearers weaved #QBR2018 through village huts, dirt roads and pristine beaches. 🏝🇰🇮
