076 Tonga social 28 .ZIP The last island group in the South Pacific and a great place to catch up with many of our friends enjoying snorkeling, diving, dinghy races, hikes and many beach potlucks with bonfires. Robert and Sebastian did a cart tour around Neiafu and the boys got their first taste of Kava, a local brew made of pepper root. Frank joined us for a few weeks enjoying cruising life. On our last night in Tonga we partied in time for Halloween with carved pumpkins, eye ball punch, candy - the grown ups had dart and dance. |

Upon our arrival the supply ship came in, which only happens every 3-5 months, luck?!

069 Moorea, Society Islands 31 .ZIP We enjoyed a week in Opunohu Bay taking along Judith, the former au-pair girl on "Verena 3". Together with "Nereid" and "Blue Sky" we snorkeled with the stingrays, which was an awesome experience - completely harmless they come all the way up to you specially if you had food for them! One day we hiked up to the Bellvedere passing an old marea ritual site from the 17th century, later on getting a spectacular view of both bays. With the dinghy we explored Cooks Bay deciding it was way too big for us if a cruise. |
