Sundays in Neiafu are for swimming
A group of young children play at the harbour of Neiafu, situated beside the Port of Refuge, a deep-water harbour on the south coast of Vava'u Archipelago in the Polynesian South Pacific Kingdom of Tonga.
It is customary to swim fully clothed. On Sundays the islands stops all activity and children swim and have fun together, sadly a way of life lost in many Western cultures.
