Changed flights

With Neil still recovering from the jet-lag we had a relaxed day again today not particularly doing a lot, but Chris and I being King and Queen of relaxation it didn’t worry us and we happily wasted away the day chatting with other guests staying at Toni’s, so although not a lot occurred we...

NEIL'S HERE

Peter, Toni’s driver had said to us we could sneak into the minibus that was driving to the airport to collect Neil and by sneak we mean not pay the transfer fee so we woke up early, showered and got ready to get a phone call from Peter to say that Toni would be driving to the airport instead. ...

Back to Tongatapu

Lee picked us up at midday today and took us to Isi’s House where we ate our last lunch in Vava’u which was a tasty fish curry shared with Isi’s family. After spending 22 hours up at the House it was a sad goodbye with Ofa and Moni, Isi’s parents who were even crying as we left. We’ll miss...

Into the city

We caught a shuttle bus into town; well it is in fact the capitol of Tonga, so a city, but it is quite small and reminds me of a small Asian town actually. Which is nice as we don’t really like cities anyway. But as it is small, there isn’t much to do or shops to buy anything decent so the...

Sunday= Day of Rest

Everyone staying here at ‘The Blue House’ woke up today feeling rough and dizzy, including both Chris and I and I had a bad stomach to accompany it. So we didn’t achieve much today as none of us had the energy or motivation to do so. But as it is a Sunday, that didn’t matter much anyway as...

Thieving Wailoaloa

WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED!!! Chris calmly woke me up this morning to tell me. He had realised this after noticing that the alarm had failed to go off on our phone, so after going to the toilet he got dressed and put on his shorts to discover that his wallet was in the wrong pocket, so thinking...

Tonga

On February 2 we crossed the international dateline so February 2 never existed for us. Groundhog day never existed for us. Tonga is a small, flat, poor and very hot island. However, the color of the water is amazing. This is us on a formal night during cocktail hour prior to dinner. ...
