Language lessons, coconuts, and whales! The Second Installment in the Tonga Adventures...
About this blog
Malo e Lelei!
This is my second time to the Kingdom of Tonga... a.k.a.:
"The Friendly Isles" named so after Captain Cook's visit(s) to the Isles. "This groupe I have named the Friendly Archipelago as a lasting friendship seems to subsist among the Inhabitants and their Courtesy to Strangers intitles them to that Name." (Captain James Cook)
or
"The Land Where Time Begins" This second one comes from the fact that The Kingdom of Tonga is located 175*00* degrees West of Greenwich, just 5*00* degrees East of the International Dateline. What this means, is that Tonga literally is..."The Land Where Time Begins". They are the first country to greet each morning, every day of every year!
