Last Day in Tonga

Woke up and drove the car into town for drop off, just in time. Spent the day in Nuku’alofa, mostly at the air conditioned tourism centre, with wifi and a public washroom. Took advantage of the wifi to call mom, and hung around for a bit. Then ate some lunch and bought a traditional Tongan drink called otai, that had shavings of watermelon in ittt.
Last stop in town was to exchange the rest of my Tongan Pa’anga for Fijian Dollars, and then I walked back to Lupe’s place, only about an hour!

Had good food again, including theses huge jumbo prawns that her brother brought from Australia! They were very yummy and apparently they had bags and bags of them in the freezer lol. Also unfortunately lost my new turtle shell ring on the walk home :( bummed cause it was a very unique souvenir from Tonga.

Nice last day in Tonga, and now for a quick nap before driving to the airport at 3am for my 5:30am flight! 😳Read more
