Kingdom of Tonga (Day 13)

Due to the limited forethought of our Australian tour operator *, we were unable to go out today despite the presence of the ever-elusive calm seas and sunny weather.  Nevertheless, during our stay, we were fortunate to have swum with more than 25 whales and to have relaxed in a delightful resort in remote Tonga.  ( * I would avoid this operator who failed to successfully manage the tours while not in Tonga.  From what we learned during our visit, Endangered Whale Encounters is likely the better option overall.)
