Out and about trying to see what we have missed before it is too late!
Went for a coffee first at a place we hadn't been....sign says OPEN at the entrance....sign on the door says CLOSED.....here we go again. We know Crazy Uga's is open so we went down the Utuko sea track close by and spotted heaps of butterflies, spiders and the fish but the Tide was in so will head back later in the afternoon.
Speaking to another couple holidaying and they have had their name down for three days to go swimming with the dolphins but they are not around at the moment. We had a quick glance of a large pod from Hoi beach the other day but maybe they have gone elsewhere, they also went to get their licences for a souvenir and the camera had broken down so paid the money and no photocard! Not happy campers....thankfully it was OK when we got ours.....may have broken after Geoff had his taken.

| Takeaway Hamburger and chips....Niue style! |
 |
| Loads of food.....may not be snorkeling today. |
 |
| One of the many spiders with its spun sac. |
 |
| Limu Pools |
 |
| These flowers are growing wild everywhere.....a pink carpet in some areas. |
 |
| Limu Pools - Tide in and a little rougher than previous times. |
 |
| Sea snake coming out to say hello. |
 |
| And another.................. |
 |
| Reef fish hiding in the rockpools. |
 |
| This should be called "Lizard Island"rather than Niue.....there are ghecko's and skinks or similar to our drop tails everywhere you walk. |
 |
| These are the new toilets all over the place, like a mini sauna inside! |
 |
| This was Air Niue office but I think that airline may have been also a victim to Cyclone Heta and the sudden disappearance of many of the population. |
 |
| Opaahi Sea Track at low tide. |
 |
| Eating size...but too quick for me. |
Coral Gardens - Sunset and Drinks
Mission for another sunset which have been pretty ordinary this week. less rain but the tides have been low late in the day so photos have not been that good. I think we struck the best week when we arrived.
More incorrect information.....the paperwork given to us stated that there was to be a full moon last night...not to happen....the smallest slice of moon to be found only. Won't be getting reflections on the water.
Arrived at Coral Gardens for a sunset drink....sign out the front said beer and pizza $20 so we thought that would be ok for tea while I waited for sunset. Get inside and it is only a sausage sizzle. The lady behind the bar says $2 sausage in bread so Geoff went to get one and it turns out it is $4 each!
Before we go we want something to just be as it is supposed to be.....maybe that is the flight home.....although if the flight comes in early - it also leaves early so you have to be prepared to sit around and wait in anticipation. If you miss it you are stuck for another week.
Tomorrow night we go to Talo's for an Island Feast.....fingers crossed that will be worth waiting for and supposedly Island dancing and music as well.

| I cannot believe the camera did not show the deep red of the sunset....it still looks pinkish. |
