Tonga cultural
10/15/2006- Kingdom of Tonga

Our 5 weeks in the Va'vau group we spent in Neiafu, the main town, and exlporing many of the beautiful anchorages, all close by. We enjoyed many of the cultural events, locals wearing their traditional clothes "Valas" in honor of the late King, who died a few weeks before our arrival. During our delicious Tongan feast some local kids performed traditional dances while we sat on the floor eating wonderful dishes. An unexpected stop at Kelefisia island in the Hapaii group was definately one of our highlights
