... coral beach for a swim, also to Captain Cooks landing site and just drove around. The funny thing is they drive around doing 35 to 40kms per hour and when they overtake the reach a maximum speed of 50ish km per hour (and dont really care if someone is doing the same coming the other way) they just move over. The People were extremely friendly and all happy to see us, always ...

... The thick smoke blows into your room through the mesh windows (without curtains) along with the blistering tropical sunbeams. And heh presto, who needs an alarm clock. Monday we had to sort out our onward journey, so despite the best information the Lonely Planet had to offer we knew that the two airlines they recommend no longer existed and that Airlines Tonga would be our carrier of choice (if not necessity) so along to Teta tours ...

... in calm water for a while and did some fishing. It was an unsuccessful day though as we saw no Whales and caught no fish! Whilst on Eua we met a Guy, he was from the UK, so me and him decided to go for a walk to the rock gardens. We hitched a ride with four blokes in the car with about 4 dogs and a shot gun, i was a little nervous but glad Guy was there. They told us they were hunting wild pig! After 15 mins we jumped out and started walking, after about an ...

... mettre en jambe, nous avons reserve le bateau pour Ha'apai (un autre groupe d'iles) pour le lendemain, et l'avion pour le retour depuis ces iles. Ensuite, en route vers chez notre hote couchsurfing, Enrique et sa maison bordel++ !! Enrique ayant un diner de prevu avec des amis a lui (en fait il fait a manger chez les autres pour pas faire la vaisselle), on va se faire un petit resto bien sympa, sushis, huitres grillees, paves de poisson et fruits de mer, decidement ca ...

... in torrential rain with very little visibility and the fog horns of the ship were sounded until the visibility improved. The wet weather continued as we left Nuka Alofa as the ship rocked about in 4 metre swells. That evening me and Mary went to the Orangery where they were serving a "Pacific Rim Buffet dinner". It made a nice change to eat there in such relaxed surroundings. DAY 34 - 35 (at sea) Improvement in the weather, as the clouds disappeared ...

Sataa, sataa ja sataa. Sadetta on nyt kestanyt kuulemma kymmenen paivaa. Me olemme olleet taalla nelja. Valilla ei sada, sitten tulee taas aivan kaatamalla. Toissapaivana oli pitkaan poutaista, eilen vetta tuli senkin edesta. Yolla herasin moneen otteeseen myrskytuuliin, ja olin varma, etta jokin majapaikkaa ymparoivista palmuista antaa periksi tuulille ja painovoimalle. Talla hetkella ilma nayttaa paljon ...

... was understated, however there was no denying that its iconic and historic presence was breathtaking. We paused at the Palace gates to look at the finer details of the building with its intricate white wooden walls gleaming against the lawn and facing out over the Pacific Ocean. It was difficult to compare it to the immaculate photograph we held in our possesion taken by Josiah Martin in the 1800's, which Lauren had been carrying with her across ...

... i had been to church in a wee while too.... Our guesthouse owner brought us out to The good Samaritan resort and beach and then onto the famous blow holes where were spectacular. the sea crashes against the cliffs sending the waves 20 metres high into the air. He also brought us to see a canadian friend of his who had lived there 35 years... and i swear this guy could be the unabomber and the topic of conversation was UFO'S the US Government and life on the moon ...

... mutta ei se nyt, niin paha homma sitten ollutkaan ja todella hienot korallit oli tuossa saarten välissä! Jees, eli sinne vaan viimein pamahdettiin aution saaren rantaan ja valloitettiin välittömästi Suomen nimiin tämä saari :-) Tämän maailmanympärireissun tarkoitus toteutuikin tässä nyt ja oli erittäin hieno fiilis!!! Tehtiin pieni tutkimusretki saaren ympäri ja havaittiin, että kookoksia ja rapuja ainakin on tääll ...
