A big month of activities here in Tonga for Breast Cancer Awareness month with the highlight being the Annual Ladies Breast Cancer Luncheon. With 50 ladies all celebrating the "Calypso" theme, it was pink flamingos and pink pina colada's all round. We had a beautiful meal, lots of raffles prizes to be won and plenty of money raised for a good cause. Just so you know - we are not doing it too tough over here as this was our menu for the day; Smoked Salmon Crostini, Diablo Prawns, Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Baked Ham with Caribbean Glaze, Caribbean Salad, Rice with Black Beans, Calypso fruit salad with Raspberry Sauce, Pineapple Sorbet and plenty of pink champagne!!!!!
A beautifully pink decorated marquee added to the ambience of the day
