Last week we had a few birthday celebrations. It was my birthday on Wednesday and on Thursday the twin boys off Twin Image turned 5!

Peter began the birthday celebrations a day early with a yummy profiteroles cake the night before my birthday. Tanya and Dudley were lucky to be in the same anchorage and tasted Peters superb cooking skills.



The following morning we had a laid back morning (not much different to normal) of pancakes and pressies. We then sailed back to the main town Neifu and wandered the streets, having ice cream and American doughnuts for lunch. We spent several hours that afternoon on the internet (check out all the pics we loaded) then showered and made ourselves beautiful for a nice dinner at a local restaurant. All the cafes and restaurants are owned by foreign locals, ie foreigners who came to Tonga and never left. We chose a Italian place and discovered it was their opening night at their new premises. The meal was fantastic, we shared an antipasto, pizza and pasta. The menu looked quite extensive however on closer inspection most of the pizzas were similar as were the pastas. This we s to the lack of availability of ingredients taken for granted in Australia. But it didn't matter as the food was delicious and very well priced (about AUS$35!!).

The following day we celebrated again with Samuel and Taylor. I made cupcakes and Peter made pikelets plus some healthy salad and we enjoyed dinner on the big cat, make that huge cat. The boys then insisted we watch episode two Star Wars. It was more the big boys who insisted rather then the 5 year olds!
