Breakout to the Beach
After a long week of preparations for the now passed Sapate Ako Fakaafe, we're all ready to cool down and relax. Apparently, 'Ofa got a huge box of ice-cream (note the word "box" not "tub" or "bucket", but "box") and everyone dug into it during the day, but most especially my son.
This time we went to a beach at Ha'ateiho (?) and the beach was just gorgeous, hidden away and a bit of a trudge to get to, but the sand was clean, white, and the water absolutely cold in the heat.
Sisitoutai broke loose from the mob as soon as we set foot on the sand, and he didn't get out until he was carried out of the water screaming and kicking.
Kid Talk: Daddy, daddy, .... 'Misi ... water
Definitely a beach we recommend you visit, next time your in town. Unfortunately, only for those who can walk unaided, and as climbing back up will require some negotiating rocks.
We went along with two heavy mum's carrying their babies, so the trek isn't impossible but if you've got gout or a bung knee then I suggest trying out another beach here in Tonga (or going on the diet to lighten up life for the knee.) 'Ofa brought along Sesilia who just loved not being able to walk properly on the sand (not that she can walk properly anyway) and Saane brought along Ma'ake who also slept part of the time but loved looking around in the new space.
The kids are scheduled for another beach-run this Saturday, this time with their Sunday School, so it looks like the whole family is packing up again for a trip.
Just make sure the kids have done their potty run before going to most of the beaches as toilets are few and far between, to totally non-existent.
