Tonga (October/November 2007)
We spent seventeen days travelling through the beautiful Kingdom of Tonga.
One of the best trips we've ever been on. So many friendly people, nice and
warm climate, awesome snorkeling and most of all the laid back island style
way of life - nothing on this trip went according to plan, but with a lot of
patience and improvisation we made it better and more interesting than we
could have ever planned.

It's still early spring, but the weather was really nice and sunny, and the water wasn't that cold.
