Day 2, Niue to Tonga, August 3, 2010

How many countless days have been carelessly lost? Will the lost days ever be recovered? And if found, who will come to claim them?
These questions weigh heavy on our minds as we make our way from the magical island state of Niue to the Kingdom of Lost Days, Tonga. Who knew that a passage across the South Pacific could present such puzzles.
I'd like to think that we won't really, entirely lose a day on arrival in the Kingdom of Tonga. I'd rather think we might only be guilty of misplacing it, reserving the right to pick it back up again some time in the future.
