RTW "The Gordon Gladwin Tour"

Sick of trying to use our United's frequent flier points, we decided to use them all up in one round the world trip.

Tonga's got Talent!

April 30th - I was joined in the shower by a large red & blue parrot tonight - loved it!

Wednesday night at Fafa island resort is Cultural night. The Staff & their families sing, drink copious amounts of Kava & perform an array of traditional South Pacific dances. Their bodies covered in oil, the idea is that you stick small bills to their skin in a show of appreciation. Could be the reason why so much of the local money looks so worked over!
Kay is wearing here what we initially saw at the local market & thought were floor matts or wall hangings. Turns out they were in fact dresses. Just shows you what we know!...



Had a great time - but just a heads up to future Fafa island guests. If you get the flight into Tonga that arrives at 2am - stay in town that night rather than getting the boat transfer over to the resort. It's a long journey & a lot of cash to dish out for what ends up being about a 3 hour stay in your room.
