The Kingdom of Tonga – I promised a second posting and here we are! Despite all that stunning paradise-like scenery there is always a different story, a reality that I don’t want to hide. First of all Tonga is no first world country. The Kingdom struggles of poverty, severe weather events, the lack of satisfying and good jobs and way less tourists come here than to the „neighbouring“ islands of Fiji and French Polynesia.

The Kingdom of Tonga! Somewhere in between the Cook Islands and Fiji, somewhere in the middle of the vastness of the South Pacific. When thinking of the South Pacific Islands you might think about turquiose colored waters, perfectly crooked palm trees along white sandy beaches.
