Happy Thanxgiving to all my US friends-- I know I know it's only Wednesday Nov 27 where you are.. not here in the South Pacific across the International Dateline-- today is Nov 28 Thanxgiving Thursday .. a 513am Sunrise as we make our approach to today's port of call--Nuka'alofa, Tonga.. looks like we have planned a walk about the city which is right nearby the cruise ship dock..

 10am---off the ship and a short walk into Nuku'alofa the capital city of Tonga.. a nice small city with a village flavor... reefs surround the island..a walk past the Royal Palace and the government buildings just at the end of the cruise dock.. into the different shops and fresh market before a stop at Friends Pub and Cafe'.. bought a couple of local items then back on the ship.. had lunch then a quick stop off the ship to pick up a last minute item-- a Tonga T-shirt.. and why not .. a fun day .. the local people are happy ..pleasant and very cordial-- best of what we've seen on any island on this cruise... just a fun loving people
