Good evening my readers this is your host Rinell traveling in this wonderful place called Vava'u, Tonga. We are going to visit this beautiful island from 24-25 April 2012.
One of three island groups in the Kingdom of Tonga, Vava'u is a mariner's dream- tranquil isles edged by coral reefs, deep channels and protected coves, glistening white sand beaches and steep, craggy cliffs plunging into an impossibly blue sea. The aptly-named Port of Refuge is one of the South Pacific's finest natural harbors, a quiet anchorage half the yearwhich fills with hundreds of yachts during the winter sailing season.
On 18 March 2012, King George Topou passed away at the age of 63. The Kingdom of Tonga will mourn for three months. You may see locals wearing the traditional ta'ovala (matt tied around the waist) as sign of respect and mourning.
