My Tongan Adventures

Perhaps it is vain to create a blog with only pictures of me in it. But my friends and family want to go with me on a few of  my adventures.  It is impossible  to describe how wonderful and exciting it really was.So here are a few pics to give you a glimpse into a beautiful island.  

                                            


This is Amelia Pahula , my wonderful hostess and I after a dance where I was given this lovely garland 

     There is nothing more yummy than Coconut milk right out of the nut 

                 
                                       The hibiscus grow in tall bushes or trees and come in many colors.
   

                      
                   We went to so many beaches and each one was more beautiful than the other.

                                  another lovely beach

                               

                       walk through the forest

                            
      
at times we squeezed through small crevices in this very interesting cave

                        
a well deserved lunch after the strenuous rock climbing

                     

 going down was a lot harder than going up. And this goes straight up. The picture makes it look so easy. We literally hung from ropes with dear life and found footholds no larger than our hand.
