Tonga: Day 11 - Lape Market

Thursday, July 9, 2013

The friendly inhabitants of Lape came over to our boat this morning and invited us to their 'market'. I think it is just an impromptu thing they put together when they have a visitor.

So we got ready quickly and dinghied over to their little wharf to check it out. They had it set up in a little tiki hut right off their beach.

Jan ended up buying a basket and a few bags of chips made from tarot root.

They supposedly have feasts here in Lape every weekend too, which are supposed to be the best feasts in Vava'u, but I doubt we will still be around for that. We are looking to move our boat over to 'The Coral Garden' tomorrow for some good snorkeling.
