I've visited Canada 18 times. Are we tied?My traveling days are passed, but I have visited 18 countries.
Great place with several Islands making up the Kingdom. Pic of the King's Palace taken in Nuku Alofa, the main Island:The Kingdom of Tonga.


I'm jealous. Did you charter a boat, and sail to the other islands? I had a friend who went there. He said that at that time the buzz among the locals was that the king decided to lose weight and had taken up riding a bicycle around the Kingdom. I guess no body guards were necessary.Great place with several Islands making up the Kingdom. Pic of the King's Palace taken in Nuku Alofa, the main Island:

My favourite Island in the Kingdom of Tonga was Vava U! So many uninhabited Islands just offshore with powder white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. All of them unihabited.
No crowds of tourists there at all.
I heard stories about the current king. A bit of a character apparently. He doesn't live in the palace but up in the hills somewhereI'm jealous. Did you charter a boat, and sail to the other islands?
