Get married - on Pitcairn Island.

It's one of the hardest places in the world to get to – and now it's trying to market itself as the ideal spot for a wedding.
Just wondered if anyone on PH has been to Pitcairn.
The most out of the way place I've been to is Norfolk Island - where a number of Pitcainers were rehomed when it became overcrowded.
Fascinating history - get googling.
I understood that there is no scheduled boat to get there - you either go on your own boat or you find a cargo / cruise ship passing in the general region. Then going home, just hope that a boat decides to stop. You could be there for months.
I read a very interesting book about a journalist who stayed there for a year or so - the place sounds really f
ked up. Child abuse was rife.

Left New York on a cruise a couple of weeks ago...Colombia, Panama Canal, Peru, circled Easter Island and yesterday went round Pitcairn Island twice. Now on our way to Tahiti.
Never thought I'd get near the place.
Population 47, remotest inhabited island in the world.
The Pacific Ocean is big, will be back in NZ in a week's time.
Quite a few people on the boat started a round the world trip in New Zealand over three months ago.
