Cancelled flight :(

Nuku'alofa, Tonga


As we no longer have a phone we no longer have an alarm, so Moni, one of the staff here woke us at 6am so we got get packed and ready for our flight leaving at 8am to Vava’u. All through the night the rain hammered down and this morning was no different, the first thing Chris said to me was, ‘I bet the flight is cancelled’ and unfortunately he was right. We left Toni’s at 6:30am and drove to the airport arriving at 7am to check in, drink some coffee before we noticed the change on the whiteboard.
The rain was starting to clear a bit but the pilots also sitting in the café confirmed they were waiting for the weather to clear the other end before we could set off, so after 3 hours of waiting it was announced that the flight was in fact cancelled and rescheduled for tomorrow at 11am. So we called Toni and asked him to come and pick us up. But unfortunately as we had already checked out, some other people were due to move into our room and as there were spaces in ‘The Green House’ now we either had to move there or pay to stay back in ‘The Blue House’ where we were originally. So we upgraded as it’s far nicer. Spent the afternoon on the internet and again watching films as it rained almost continuously all day so not nice to anything else.
