Vava'u Group, the northern island group in the Kingdom of Tonga, was a great
gunkholing area with snorkeling and scuba diving. Unfortunately they had
just had a ferry sink losing 75 passengers, and the islands were in mourning.
The time here was steps above our experiences in the Cooks and Niue.

Tongan at the counter is in mourning garb, a result of the ferry sinking just before we got there.

The market place in Nieafu had watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and so much more.
