Hello world
the holidays have begun. Time, therefore, to the really very hard living here return to Auckland in the back and take a look across the pond. If you're thinking: "Uh after Amiland? Spiders? "Has partially right. Quite as much as possible but not yet. We will Tongatapu Island (part of the Kingdom of Tonga) happy with our presence. Which is only surrounded by some small islands in the South Pacific.

And there you go:
Tuesday:
The things are packed, made the final arrangements - snorkel gear, Flip flops, suntan lotion, bikinis, fruit and two salamis and cheese were purchased wisely (The prices on the paradise island will probably be demonized high). The road to the Airport encourages us again leave for New Zealand behind. Auckland we passed in the most boring shades of gray. The flight is very pleasant, "Air New Zealand" to recommend in any case. Good legroom, even for people who are a bit larger than ne parking meter, good food and a strong board can program the journey a pleasure to be. On the ground, many passengers do not even sit, the film "A-Team" is chosen. By the way, a good choice of airline, this incorporated into the film program, plunging the hero (Hannibal, Face, BA and Murdock), but several times with NEM helicopter or plane. Well, the flight goes by in any case. I love it when a plan works.

Unfortunately, it is already dark when we land. From the island is certainly not much to see. The airport gives it the charm of a department store, the architecture reminds hard on it. Only, that even at Saturday morning not long waits at the checkout as here at the counter. In the case control is transferred to the fruit Jenny transport, my salami smuggling goes undetected - phew! To climb the easier a few apples and nectarines, we are the first taxi that drove us about 25 miles to the hotel. The driver is sincerely friendly, very proud of "his" island and technically gifted. He makes art out of wood. Aha ...
arrived at the hotel is still a quick snack served in the restaurant and drank a Willkommens-Bier/Wein. The hotel is very nice, the food delicious and wireless internet included. This is also the reason that we are a first greeting to Can send home. The next few days we will probably explore the first city and surrounding area (perhaps one or two small islands). The lolling on the beach will not be guaranteed at short. After that is held for sharks and whales, from the water. The snorkel was not finally dragged along for fun. The remaining days we will scour the attractions of the island.
Upon completion, we then get to this point again. And keep your ears stiff and closed the crossing jackets. We have the very real tropical temperatures our jackets in some deep, the case - bah!
Aloa
Jenny, the pearl of the Pacific, and Basti, the silence of the ocean

ps: I love it when a plan works!
pps: I love it when my toes finally able to get some fresh air and move freely in their flip-flops can!
ppps: I can sniff your toes, too (you say the word "pitch" anything?)
