Last Round
... . The stressful services and 15 hour days have been overshadowed by water slide rides, 400 pound swordfish and the magic of Tonga. Those frustrating moments have been faded away by the owners generosity, genuine love and appreciation for the work the ...
Ein überraschendes Ostergeschenk

Day 8, Super Monday, Feb 7, At Sea, Informal

Around the Island of Tongatapu
The Island of Tongatapu where we live isn't that big, but when you only drive at a maximum speed of 50kms per hour, quite often much less due to the condition of the roads, it still takes you a little while to get around. During our first week here we ...
Ocean of Light School concert
... over $7000 by doing this, with the year 6 girls (Jade's class) raising well over $1000 alone (which is ALOT of money in Tonga). Whilst it was fabulous to watch, lets just hope Jade doesn't make a habit of dancing for money once she's older!! The kids did ...

Die Kammer des Schreckens
... nicht was ich von Tonga halten soll. Im Moment, wenn ich über Tonga nachdenke, sehe ich nur die beiden Abstellkammern. Tonga selbst hat bei mir noch nicht den Woah-Effekt ausgelöst. Wahrscheinlich weil ich hier zum Arbeiten bin und nicht wegen Urlaub. ...

A day on the beach followed by a cultural show
