After our glorious week on board ESCAPADE NZ we had the weekend to recuperate in the main town of Vava'u - Neiafu while we waited for our flight home Monday. We stayed at Hakula Lodge and visited various places around town including the marketi, Tonga Beach resort and main shops.
The view of ESCAPADE from Hakula's wharf.
Our wharf entrance up to our Lodge, the gardens are filled with colour.
The view from our deck.
The kids loved Jeff's carving they were everywhere.
Similar to Nuku'alofa, Sunday is no action day in Vava'u so we headed to the Tonga Beach resort for the BBQ and family day.
Looking back at our daughter enjoying our table under the trees.
Em gave us a run for our money in scrabble without cheating too.
"If you jump I will Dad!"
Dyl found some mates to play with all day and here he is showing off some of his gymnastics skills.
Em loved the slide. Feet first, Head first, every which way but they always ended in a splash down.
Brotherly love Dyl helps Em out of the water.
The vanilla man was all over it. You can take a photo after you purchase some Vanilla beans! Lucky we had some spare Vodka to make some essence.
This is a very famous mural in the centre of town.
The kids designing their own T-shirts to remember the trip.
While we were on our way to lunch we spotted the Tongan Waka's returning after 8months away.
Just happens a friend of ours was on this journey. So we popped down to the wharf to surprise Mercy.
Now that was a hair raising holiday. Best Lyndon visits Shina for a Kosi Ulu before he returns to work!
