There are 7 churches in each village - one for each denomination/religion. The Sunday singing has a good reputation and we've been to few of them to listen. (However, we much prefer the singing in the Marquises.) The men wear longish skirts. Men and women wear weaved "mats" around their waist (called "ta'ovala"). Apparently it is a sign of respect.
There is no rubish bin (except around important places in the main town). Everybody burns their own. So, yesterday we gave our 3 bags to an old and friendly Tongan lady who did it for us. There are less errant dogs here than other tropical islands. Instead there are loads and loads of pigs running everywhere (Felix was telling us that for sure, they must do lots of bacon).
As the Moorings (charter boat compagny) is well implanted here and as the name of the anchorages are all very difficult to pronounce, Moorings printed a chart where all the anchorages have a number. So, tonight we are at the anchorage 41, and we were at 13 yesterday. We are going to 28 tomorrow!
