Magasin Amelie (Hao)

18° 6.6′ S · 140° 54.4′ W · approximate

A village magasin that fills jerry cans and whose owner has changed US dollars for cruisers.

Practical

The compendium has conflicting notes: one says Magasin Jojo was 'formerly Magasin Amilie', another lists Magasin Amelie separately as filling jerry cans and changing money at 100 XPF to US$1 (2019). Ask locally which store currently trades under the name. With no bank or ATM on Hao, a store willing to change cash is valuable. Position approximate: placed in Otepa village just SE of the main quay, derived from the compendium's walking directions; confirm on arrival.
