´Eua: view from Lokopu Lookout

'Eua is one place I haven't been in Tonga and I look forward to standing there one day. May I suggest that you put 'Eua in your title. I look forward to standing there in the south-easterly as it lifts up over this escarpment. A good picture.

You really should go there. The hilly landscape on ´Eua is quite a contrast to flat Tongatapu. The hike to this lookout was quite an adventure with a hand-drawn map from my hosts...but the view regards all the effort.

I stayed there at Taina´s Guest House, a place i can highly recommend if you need an accommodation. I got the honor to get an invitation to some typical tongan food from an ´umu on sunday. A really great experience for me.

Greetings from Germany, Andreas!

Dear Andreas,

I made it, though only to the first couple of kms of the southern end of the east coast!

But I have begun uploading my images of 'Eua. You made me do it!! I am so glad to have begun my exploring of 'Eua that I have promised myself that one day - next year, I expect, I will walk the full length of the east coast of 'Eua.

Grateful to you my friend. And we met a Dane on 'Eua who is cycling around the world. And he rode to the southern end of 'Eua and stayed at Taina's Guest House for you recommended it to me, and I recommended it to him. We were not able to stay there as one of my former students insisted that we stay in her home with her family. And that was wonderful too.

Greetings from Tonga and Sydney.

....oh and by the way, Andreas, I said in my "Lincluden" comment above that I looked forward to standing in the south-easterly as it lifts over the eastern escarpment. If you see my pictures of the east coast as I upload you will see that it was blowing gale force and it was pretty wet, wild and yet wonderful. I was not disappointed.
