arrival
730am Neiafu, Tonga at our anchorage in this beautiful and picturesque
bay of small islands.. a very small tender port that will make us decide
on a plan for the day.. a quiet place.. FYI.. this is Friday Nov 29 for
us-- still a day ahead and 6 hours behind East Coast time.. the FIRST of 2 Friday Nov 29th's because of the International Dateline crossing tomorrow morning
10am-- it was off the ship and on to the tender for the ride into the town dock.. a short stay --only until 230pm so decided to just hang around and walk thru the small town grabbing a local beer for a sit-down refreshment at the 'Dancing Rooster' pub.. good beaches too far away.. walked to St Joseph's Church.. quaint.. as we walked down the steps we spotted a local's pet 'oink oink' right in the next yard near the church.. he was sitting in a mudhole.. looked at us and rolled around in it to cool off.. he put on a show.. still laughing about it..some funny stuff.. a pretty 81°blue sky day..
