Tonga Market

went yesterday into the town which is the capital of Tonga! well Timsbury is bigger and that no lie! most of it got burnt to the ground in 2006 due to riots so they are very slowly building it back up but still its really no big!
the market how ever is amazing! its the only place you can get fresh veg and fruit! well unless you buy it from people at the side of the road.
so the market.... the bit at the front is full of arts and crafts and pretty things and then the bit at the back and sides are full of fresh fruit and veg! its amazing! and everyone is so nice unlike a lot of markets i have been to! they dont hassle you in the slightest! was really good fun! im going back tomorrow because its meant to be much much bigger on a Saturday!
to night we are going to a dinner in a cave right on the beach! we have a traditional meal then watch a show! should be amazing! i saw the cave in the day light when they were setting up for the one on Wednesday but it was full so we have to wait for tonight but never mind!
we are also going on a day trip on Sunday to one of the other island so that will be nice! think it is a small island with one resort on it but you can walk around it in 20mins but the beach is meant to be amazing and the snorkeling brill!
not really sure the plans for Monday or Tuesday but im pretty sure that Tuesday will be taken up by last min shopping and trying to pack everything into my two bags!

lots of love charlie xxxxxxxxxx
