Leaving Ha'apai

Leaving this homestay had a little different feel than when we left Ha'atafu. We have 2 weeks of training left during which we'll get to stay at the guest house/hostel in Nuku'alofa. The freedom and conveniences that we'll have there (showers with sometimes hot water & no host family watching all the time) are very welcome. I think all of us are ready to move onto the next step too...

Flying on a intra-island plane was quite an experience. At the airport, each of us was weighed (with whatever carry-on bags we had), then assigned a seat based on our weight and the weights of those who checked in before us. We boarded the plane from a door in the back and had to stoop low while working our way forward to our seats. Once seated, I noticed that part of the interior of the cabin was taped together with duct tape. Hmmmm....

The views from the plane on the way back were phenomenal!!!
