photo by Sarah/Rose
Tonga, the ‘Friendly Islands’, are one of those small Micronesian nations that few brochures mention, and most people know very little about them. That doesn’t mean that there is nothing interesting about Micronesian nations, it’s just that they tend to get ‘lost’ amidst the vastness of the Pacific.
Tonga is a fascinating place, although probably not that pleasant for its inhabitants – it is the last absolute monarchy in the world, and the king rules over the people like a feudal lord. This might put off some potential visitors from traveling to Tonga, but this island nation’s nickname is really well deserved, and tourists will be welcomed with open arms. To give you a taste of what this destination has to offer, here are some of the most amazing tourist attractions in Tonga. …
