Trip to Tonga day 5

About a week before we left on our trip we

decided that we needed to spend a night away

on a secluded island. There are a million little

islands that make up Tonga and Europeans will

open up resorts on the islands. We found one

that is on an island about a 20 minute boat

ride from my parents island. We flew back late

from Vava'u and in the morning we caught our boat

to the island Fafa. It is a tiny island that only has

the resort on it.

Notice the guy behind Dave, he is steering the

boat with his feet.

Here you can see the little islands out in the distance.

Fafa as we approach

This is the backyard looking onto our Fale.

They made the fale very authentic. They were

beautiful. Everything was woven very traditionally.

They brought us yummy fruit drinks to our place

when we arrived.

This is our bathroom. Outside is the shower.

This is a guest room/Reading room

Looking out to the beach from our place

These birds were all over. They are from New Zealand.

I thought they were really neat. They also had parrots and

other exotic birds. At night it was a different story. It was so

loud we barely slept.

Relaxing on the hammock. We slept or read most

of the day.

This pathway leads you on to the

"bush walk"

This is the table where we ate all of our meals.

Saying goodbye to Fafa. Probably the most

relaxing and beautiful place I have or will ever

go to.
