Vava'u

Vava'u is beautiful. We really love it here. The only downside so far is that we have to drive to get to town and there are a lot more mosquitoes here. The main town here is called Neiafu. Its really pretty and there are a ton of sailboats and yachts that come here. Most of the sailors we've talked to are from Australia/New Zealand. There is a small market here, but nothing compared to the one in Tongatapu. They do have a lot of cool woven baskets and carved masks etc. at the market though. I plan to buy most of my souvenirs here. All the restaurants in town are pretty expensive because of all the tourist sailors coming here. So we go to this little chinese place for lunch when we are hungry and buy bananas at the market. We do all of our emailing from town as well, so we come here maybe 3 times a week.





As you can see I gave in and got some Chacos. I have always said they are ugly. And I still stand by that statement. They are ugly shoes and they make my feet look even bigger and uglier than usual. BUT they are super comfortable and practical. So after my first 3 weeks of wearing flips flops everyday and my feet killing me, my wonderful Mom mailed me a pair of chacos. So now my arches are fully supported and feelin good :)
