Hi Guys,

Well back, no sun burn, but a bit browner.

Meet a few pilots over there, passed on the forums details, should see them on line soon.

I will post some photos later once I'm settled.

Not much in the way of aviation over there.

Only the island hopping in what I think is an Islander.

Sadly didn't get near any of the airports in daylight, arrived at 10pm, departed at 2am.

I think they need a water taxi service though, could be a good business opportunity for someone.

Catch you all soon.

Derek

Ya lucky bugga, we've been stuck in this freezing, wet but yet some what dry weather

What aircraft did ya get for the trip there and back?

It actually rained with thunderstorms for half the week.
But still warm and enjoyable.

Flew return on the Polynesian Blue 738.

Nice aeroplane. Leather seats etc.

Cheers

Around 4 hours.
Pass over the date line, so left on saturday and arrived friday. Felt weird.

Coming home was funny, left the hotel thursday night and arrived in Auck Saturday morning, were did friday go?

Awesome place to visit, stayed in Savaa'i in the Tanu beach falaes. Beautiful reef for snorkelling, excellent hospitality. Was disapointed however with the Aggie Greys resort. Waste of money I felt.

Cheers
