Looked for a while but didn't find it. The place seems to have changed quite a lot recently (which restaurant ???), so ?...

Good found. It was Sunday and the restaurant was closed. No muggles around...
TFTC!

Excellent food. Nice compagny.

YEAH!
My first Cache in TONGA!!
The coordinates were a lil' bit of - but after a little search I found it inside, with a bit help of the "owner of tree"...
Is this on private property? I'm not sure... but maybe this will help next to come...

The logbook was wet cause the box seemed to close not properly!


Greetings from German Cruiseship "MV ALBATROS"!

Found this one quickly thanks to the hints and one of the previous logs. Walked down from the backpackers in Neiafu, it's quite close. Stopped for a coffee at Aqaurium Cafe on the way back.

TFTC!

Out: TB

Found on second attempt - forgot the gps the first time and the co-ords the second (island time is getting to us!) but found thanks to the clue and a couple of the comments posted

Yup, coordinates put us a little off, but the little hint to look inside, not outside was what we needed. Then spent a little time having a good, cold Guinness.
Left a TB.

Yes, the coords put you in the middle of the road. Might be that ancient power transformer nearby. Looks like it was in a x-files episode. Anyway, I was getting a little angry cuz I would come by and search and not find a thing, several trys at it even. It was getting dark, so I decided to walk over to the grassy area and poke around, I found a machete and was using it to search around the tree. a gaurd from the hotel across the street comes by and sees me rummaging around with a machete in the dark. Gave him the macheteand asked to use his flashlight, still nothing. Then I gave up and was just hungry and stopped in to have dinner. Awesome woodfired pizza! met with the owner Lawrance had a few drinks. I lead on a little of what I was doing and he nudged me in the right direction. Prolly not a good idea to just walk up to him and ask. Food and company is worth the hint!
Thanks for the hunt!
SQ!

We were righ there, but the nearby construction site with working muggles kept us from searching the usual suspicious places. Since the scenery wasn't even very invinting we finally left and hat a nice chat with yet another muggles (actually, I hadn't expected so many muggles at this particular spot)

Found it (10:05) after quickly ducking away from family before shore activities today...

Cache still quite damp.... (mentioned this to local cache guardian - unfortunately limited time ashore today)

Was a relatively easy find although co-ords have you in the road....
