(You can see Liahona, toward the western end of Tongatapu. Lifuka and Foa, in the Ha’apai Group, are much smaller islands than Tongatapu.
Sandy Beach is near the northern tip of Foa. Matafonua is right at the tip.
It’s the end of the week (more or less) and we are staying a couple of nights at Sandy Beach. We are going for dinner at Matafonua, its companion resort 1 km away.
This is our fale.
No air conditioning, but a nice ceiling fan.
Our night light.
(This is our fale when the wind blows.)
Nice snorkling right in front of the fale / protective reef a quarter mile off-shore.
(This is the way the beach was most of the week.)
This is the beach when a storm blew in last night.
We hadn’t been at Sandy Beach very long before these two dudes showed up on our doorstep. (See our post: “We Have Amazing Missionaries!”)
This is the kitchen. (Very clean!)
Our cook (and our watermelon that we brought from town).
Lunch today was Wahoo – caught yesterday (71 kg of steaks!)
We are the only guests staying at the resort, at the moment.
