About these names

District names are the ones taxi drivers use. Ask the hotel to book a car for Laura and for any night ride.

The whole visit fits along one road. Delap, Uliga and Darrit run into each other at the eastern end (DUD); the airport sits about 10 km west; Laura is at the far western end, roughly 40 minutes by car. Everything is a taxi ride, and most hotels are in Delap.

Eat

What to order and what locals pay, from each eat page. Prices are estimates; check the menu.

    Small Chinese-run eateries along the Delap–Uliga road serve large, cheap plates of fried rice, noodles and stir-fries; go at lunch and confirm which one is open.

    Price: A plate is about US$6–12 (2026 estimate).

    Price: A family meal costs what the host asks; agree it in advance.
