Sundays are a day of rest in Tonga. No body works and everything shuts down. The only sounds coming from Vava’u on sundays are far away singing from the church choir, chickens squawking in yards, the breeze blowing gently through the trees and faint laughter coming from the homes of locals as the take the day to relax, rest and recuperate.
Luckily for us, the Tonga Beach Resort stays open for all the travelers exploring Vava’u and it’s here on Sundays that you can come and sink your toes in the sand with a refreshing beverage and sit among good friends, wailing the day away.
Checking out the scenery
Welcome to the Tonga Beach Resort
What a nice view
Luke finds a friend
The sand bar
Pieces of history
Vava’u all mapped out
Tiny turtles
Just for us
Relaxing in paradise
Nat hiding her vices
A blue canoe
The makings of a new roof
Found fencing
Lines and circles
A nice place to ponder the day
Green palms and blue skies
It’s good to read between the lines sometimes
A sunny day calls for a dip
Just chillin
Another? Probably.
Or how bout a Steinlarger?
Yes, more relaxing
Pretty as a postcard
A giggling Holley with treasure in her hand
Or just a new little friend
Blue Steele, doing his thing
Sharing secret spots
Even the plants get wrapped in Tongan love
It’s aaaall gooood
Just another sunday in Tonga
Peace.
