Yuppie!!! WE HAVE ARRIVED IN TONGA!
 
Just a quick note to let you know that we have arrived in Vava'u about 1 hour ago. We are tied up to the commercial quay waiting for Immigration and Custom clearance.
 
Although we are still in Polynesia, it looks very different here from French Polynesia. Less rugged and no high peaks. Lots of islands everywhere. It is very beautiful.
 
We are very proud to have made it just the two of us, especially as the weather hasn't always been very kind to us during this passage.
 
We are tired but well. We are desperate to get internet access to download the photos of the babies. At the moment we don't even have phone signal. Isn't it just incredible that both new arrivals to the family were born on the same day just a few hours apart, one in Brighton and one in Brussels? How beautiful!
 
Anyway, will write later but just wanted to let you know that we are well.
 
Love
Mike and Catherine
