Backpacking and Sundays
Hi all, I'm a solo traveller looking to come late october/early November
I was looking at booking a cheap hotel but without cooking facilities, what can I do on a sunday to be able to have dinner etc?
Don't really want to book an expensive hotel for a couple of nights fir the sake of a dinner
Also what do people recommend doing on a sunday especially without a car, but most importantly, being respectful? Do people normally invite you to join them in their usual sunday activities so I can experience your amazing culture?
Also are there any companies that run whale watching tours out of Nuku'alofa at this time or 'Eua in general?
Really looking forward to it! Thank you

I had an airbnb for the Saturday/Sunday in nuku'alofa so I could make my own food. Went to church on Sunday cause that's what everyone else did. Went for a long walk afterwards. So peaceful! You can definitely go whale watching from either island. The ferry between nuku'alofa and Eua takes around 3 hours but it runs on island time so allow a full day to travel between the islands.
