Tonga Photos

Here are some selected photos from Tonga and on the boat. I have many more, plus a number of movies, but this computer is way too slow to put everything up. I'll put a larger selection on facebook at some point, but it may not be until after the cruise.

Keleti Beach in Tonga, near the phantom "resort" (see the first blog entry). The water was warm, but it rained and the beach wasn't that great. The reef was also very close to shore.

Beautiful downtown Nuku'alofa

Fruit "stands" (more like piles) along Vanu Road in Nuku'alofa (Olga in foreground)

Beautiful wood carvings sold along Vanu Rd in Nuku'alofa

The other grad students and the 3 OBS guys from Woods Hole at a Luau-like dinner at the International Dateline Hotel in Nuku'alofa

From left: Olga, Regan, and Erica on Atata Island (where we went snorkeling in Tonga)

Atata Island again, the water is crystal clear but a dark-brown sea-grass causes it to turn dark as you go out from the shore
