Sione takes us around the island



Day 3,  Wonderful, gracious host Sione takes the palangis (the polite Tongan word for "visitors" Michael and I) all over the island.  What a treat.  Tapu Poultry is Sione's chicken farm.  All 6,000 of them.  We did get to see the infamous Kava plant growing in pots along the road, and harbors, and pigs grazing in the harbor, and beautiful landscapes and everything else possible in this paradise, Nuku'Alofa Tonga.

Nothing good can come of this.

Sione's cow did not like me.
