Fafa retreat

The end of January 2014 the Senior missionaries decided they needed a break and we took a much needed, and very fun trip to Fafa Island. Fafa is a resort on an island to the north of Nuku'alofa. It is about a 30-minute boat ride to get there. The beaches were lovely, the food was delicious, and the quiet and solitude were very much appreciated.

Big eye (or yellow-eyed) snapper - this was our lunch :)

That little boat is our ferry to Fafa, about 30 minutes outside of Nuku'alofa
