Is there a post office on Foa? I'm a stamp collector.

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tonga

I'm going to Tonga in a few weeks to whale watch. We'll be staying on Foa Island. I like to collect stamps from places I visit and I've seen some very cool stamps from Tonga. Is there a post office on Foa or do I have to go down to Lifuka?

Is that post office likely to have a good selection of stamps? Because of the way our trip is arranged, we don't have any free time in Nuku'alofa, where the philatelic bureau is.

Thanks!

There is only a post office on Lifuka and they don't have a big collection of stamps. Normally they only have one type each in different nominations. Nuku'alofa has a good selection.
