Spit-roast suckling pig

Our last day in paradise was spent relaxing, with Chris having a bit of a fish and a very long snorkel. In the evening was our leaving dinner and we were having spit roast babe – the only problem was that babe was alive when he arrived, so Chris took on the manly job of dispatching...

Chris finally manged to catch some fish

Isi’s parents came down this morning, one to see us and another to see how the guesthouse is coming along. So Chris and I kept Isi’s mother (Ofa) entertained by going out and collecting mussels and other shells and some yucky-looking things to eat. We were out for ages and ages and we did...

A nice chill day

Had a nice lazy morning, I read my book whilst Chris worked on Lee’s website offline. Chris went for an unsuccessful fish again and then borrowed one of the staff’s kayak to play about in for a couple of hours. Then went to see the family again in the evening to be informed that they had...

Poorly Chris

Went to town this morning to get logged on as this was the first opportunity we had to get connected since the earthquake on Saturday and as we don’t have a phone yet, we were worried that our families couldn’t get in touch. But it looks like the earthquake didn’t hit the news as we didn’t have...

To church and a tour of the island

We decided to join the family this morning and go to church as this is what almost all Tongans do every Sunday. But before church began we went down and drank some Kava at 9am with some of the local men- a tradition before and after the service. Afetr church we went back to the family home and...

EARTHQUAKE!!

There was a lot going on at the beach today with the builder working on the furniture for our Fale, so everyone was busy. Chris fixed the tap and silconed the kitchen and also found time to make a swing for the kids whilst I cleaned out both shower heads for the fales. In between Chris and I...

Chris being arty

Chris decided to Surprise Lee and Isi with a little flower display in the morning, quite arty for him really! After this he sat down in the office he had built to help Lee draw up plans for the restaurant Fale. Today was exciting as we were going to meet Isi’s family (wife Martha and son...

Yummy octopus

Chris did some fishing off the wharf, unsuccessfully, and I chilled out on the beach reading my book. We headed into town after lunch to go on the internet and Chris tried to help Lee sort out access to her website so he could write it for her. When we got back from town Chris went...

To Vava'u

We set off again to the airport to fly to Vava’u but luckily a little later in the morning at 9:30am than at the crack of dawn and amazingly even though there were thunder storms at the airport the flight was still going just 30 minutes later than scheduled. But unfortunately they...
