So the flight up to Va va’u had a grand total of 18 seats in it. We got up at 4am to get it so I slept all the way and missed out on some great scenery. We stayed in Adventure backpackers which was really nice with a big shared kitchen still with Hot water and powerful showers and has a large balcony looking over the harbor (lots of big boats).
That evening we went to the Mermaid bar and even though we had to get up early we stayed late as the King had died that day and it would be the last day anywhere would be open with music that wasn’t church music.
Tuesday: 8 of us- Nancy, Stuart, Helle (a girl they met in Samoa) and 4 medical students doing placement out here - went kayaking. It was a guided tour, we went to a beach for lunch and then went to swallows cave which you can Kayak into. It is full of graffiti but they won’t clean it as some of it is a 100 years old. I was in a double kayak with Helle I think we worked well together- well every time I stopped
for a rest she’d carry on!! All together we Kayaked 10 miles!!
