Tonga

Waking to birdsong! Caught a nice fish while washing up, then made my way over to the commercial harbor to be cleared in. I'd read about bribery and corruption with the officials here so was a bit nervous.
As it turned out only one of the four demanded anything, Mr Immigration. It's all done with smiles and entrapment, but I've arrived needing help and you don't know how hard this guy can make life, so I gave him his wine, hope he drowns in it! I said it was for my wife and I'm disappointed, he said no problem I can buy more at the duty free when I leave.
Apart from that people were very friendly and helpful, I ordered my diesel for the next morning and stocked up on fruit and veg. Talked to a few people about my rigging problem and how to deal with it. Tongans eat too much! Some of them ate continually behind their office desks. Would have made some great photos if I were brash enough to take them.
Diesel came in a huge tanker, filled up and then the rest of the day was taken up with clearing out again. Many papers and stamps and quite a bit of money later I set off into the sunset for Fiji.
