We are back in town and enjoyed a bacon and egg breakfast with lovely cappuccino at "Tropicana". We had to get up early to beat the other sailors and get faster internet to call the family. The good thing was that Lisa also takes in the washing and we were able to get one load washed and dried by the time we were getting ready to leave.
Today was a busy day with another big bag of washing done at the Coconet Cafe, getting food at the market, filling our canisters with petrol for the outboard and making an epic journey to fill two cooking gaz bottles. We also met Phil, the sail maker who is going to stitch up our genoa tomorrow.
It is lovely to have a full fridge again and enjoy the luxuries of chicken, extra mature cheddar, as well as apples and carrots besides the local food.
 
This year is a very rich mango season and we have been showered by fresh mangoes and bananas on our stay at Lape island.
 
There are plenty of photos to give you a taste of Tonga and we hope to be able to post them soon.
Now we are getting ready to go out to see a show at Tonga Bobs not to be missed we were told!
