A very religious country, all the money goes back into the Churches. They would have to be the most beautiful buildings on the islands – colourful and maintained. Sunday is the day of God – the streets are eerily quiet except for the harmonies of the hymns coming from the Churches echoing through the distance.

This pristine and untouched beautiful part of the pacific is made up of 176 islands – 50 of these islands combined populate a total of approx 103,000 people. Surrounded by crystal clear water and coral reefs this place needs to be visited at least once to appreciate the pure beauty.

A lot of pride is taken in Tongan graves in cemeteries. Each grave is colourful and covered in wreaths, flowers and coloured tapa cloth gathered from tapa plantations and made by locals.
