Hello from Tonga!! Three days, six flights, we made it to Tonga. I don't think I have ever been so happy to get off a plane. The A 380 was great I think I explorde every nook and cranny the plane had. I don't know but I think they have over did it as it's not even like flying. We had seats on the upper deck so the sound of the engines was minimal. We had a tail view of the plane taking off and that was pretty cool like playing a video game. By the time we made Fiji we were well wore down and flying in a older ATR prop plane. Never the less I made a new friend because Joy and I had enough of each other and we sat apart.I sat next to a Tongan Dentist and we talked about Tonga and it's history.
Finally landing in Tonga we headed off to the Little Italy Hotel. Now it's more like hotels we are used too then Tongan however we knew we would be tired and just wanting a room with good a/c and loads of hot water.Little Italy never lets you down and gave us an upgrade to a ocean front room for my birthday. A quick shower and we were in the water in front of the hotel to do something I missed last year. Walk to the abandoned ship about 100 yards from shore.Great I was like a kid again. I hauled my heavy but over the rail and had a look around. Spooky place with it's old showers and ghostly sounds from the water splashing agaist her sides. I worked my way up to the wheel house and had a lookk at my Wife calmly waiting for me to fall through some gap in the hull. Never the less it held and now I have a great birthday memory from Tonga.
Well time grows short and we are flying today to do some sailing in Vava'u. Next update from there.
