The Beginning Of A Short Sightseeing Holiday

We made a 6 day road trip to see Nakata Bay on Lake Malawi and Livingstonia located in the nearby mountains. It was great to get away and have a change of scenery for a few days!

Time To Check In

I know I’ve been awfully quiet and it’s about time I made a post.

Preparing To Depart The Ha’apai

10 August 2012 | Ha’ano, Ha’apai Group Tonga

We’re anchored with ‘Tuxedo Junction’ at Ha’ano Island preparing for our departure north to the Vava’u group. The anchorage is quite picturesque with a large mushroom shaped island of coral in the middle. As we came in at low tide there was a local villager on the reef below it fishing with his net.

Our friends Pete and Debbie on ‘TJ’ are planning to depart tonight about midnight tonight so we all went ashore for a beach walk to the north end of the island. Debbie and I chatted with a woman and her young son who had broken his arm playing at school. He had a sling made from a scrap of fabric and that was it. His fingers looked terribly discolored and of course Debbie and I were worried. Brad placated us with a reminder that they were only an island away from Lifuka where he could be treated at the hospital. Western medicine is practiced here but only in places with a clinic or hospital. Otherwise herbal treatments are still used. The only Tongan plant book I’ve been able to buy here is one on herbal medicine and it’s actually quite interesting. I’m just glad I wasn’t around when they were finding out which remedies were fatal and which weren’t!
