After a few flights we have finally arrived in Tonga! Our flights seemed to fly by (ha pun!) because I was pretty much only awake for the meals. I had just enough time after waking up and before we landed to meet the kind people sitting next to me on each flight. Sooooo happy that I can sleep on planes! I was a lot more refreshed than some of my classmates who didn’t get much sleep at all. The only unfortunate part is that both my bags didn’t make it to Tonga with me. I certainly am not the only one. It seemed like about half of our plane didn’t have their bags because the plane we took from Fiji to Tonga was too small. Good thing I chose these comfy clothes..looks like I will be wearing them for a couple more days. Cross your fingers that our bags arrive by Saturday...cause these clothes are not going to smell very good by tomorrow.
Today was still a very eventful day! I got my phone set up so that I can use data while I’m here and communicate with my classmates and whatnot. We also just drove around through town! Different parts here remind me of Peru and other parts remind me a lot of Africa, but it is absolutely beautiful everywhere you look. The Liahona campus where most of us are staying is extremely nice! We will definitely be well taken care of while we are here. My apartment has two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. The bedrooms have two sets of bunk beds that are of queen size! Schweet!
We drove to the coast just after sunset and saw blow holes, which were absolutely amazing! These waves were incredibly powerful hitting up against the rocks. After we drove to a small hidden beach and climbed down in the dark. May or may not have been the safest route but it was a blast none the less! We climbed around using our phones as flashlights and waded in the water a bit. It was a good first little adventure!
