We flew out of Samoa this morning on air new Zealand which by the way is a fabulous airline, and arrived in Tonga tomorrow morning. Yes, we travelled through time. Sound confusing? Since we crossed the international date line we are now a day ahead.

Tonga is quite a small island. There isn't much here for accommodations, but right now we are staying at clean guest house in the capital city. I say city, but the population isn't very big.
Today we walked into town and went to the market. I think that's one of my favorite things about both Samoa and tonga. There are hundreds of vendors selling inexpensive, fresh fruit. We have been indulging in pineapple, watermelons and mangos all for less than $0.50.

One thing I'm having difficulty adjusting to is the bathroom and bedroom wildlife. I have had some run-INS with geckos (man they are fast), giant spiders, ants and most recently a cockroach. I think it's most startling bc you're in a closed area with them. Ants in the bed is also not fun. Last night we had ordered some pizza and we left it in our room for 15 minutes. When we went to eat it it was swarming with little ants. Some how Q was able to jus t lblow them offand eat a few pieces still.

Tomorrow the plan is to rent a car and drive around the island. It looks like we may have Internet for a few days so hopefully we won't have to write another novel like our last post.
