Welcome to Big Mama’s (Pangaimotu, Tongatapu, Tonga)

November 20, 2012

The group was heading in for drinks and (for us) dinner at Big Mama’s around 6pm. We were pretty excited to get to see the famous Big Mama’s at last! We went ashore to find a big, waterfront thatched and tin-roof “beach hut” with a large bar and dining area, a sand floor, and a deck over the water. Except for having a disappointingly limited menu (fish and chips or burgers), it looked like a great place.

The fish and chips turned out to be pretty good, and the beer was cold. (A lot can be overlooked if there’s cold beer.) This would be a nice place to spend some time before heading out to sea. -Cyndi
