We know you've had to put
up with our literary attempts at describing our adventures over the last few
weeks. We've now reached a major town, so have real internet access - so
here's some welcome relief in the form of some photos.
 These are the blow
holes on the west coast of Tonga's main island, Tongatapu.
The rest of the pics are
from our three weeks in the Ha'apai Group. These low lying coral
islands make up the middle set of islands in Tonga, and are far less visited
than the other groups.

 The Ha'apai are
surrounded by potentially treachorous reefs. Kokamo managed to avoid this
fate

 It's all so
exciting...
 Now you're just showing

Uonukuhihifo - we got stuck here for a few days...
understandably...
