An Early Start on Niue by Van
– Day Two
 We met on the quayside this morning at
six and set off for the village festival. En route we saw this rather splendid war memorial.
 Unbelievable, every single house around it was cyclone wrecked,
uninhabited and ‘one careful owner’ material, but
most amazingly – the grass is well tended and cut.
  After the
festival, Karl directed Bear down a track. He left us
in the van to go in search of a cave – Ummmm no, dead
end.
  This was the last
we saw of him for an hour and a half. Mmmm, just as well we had a bottle
of rose with us.
 Just pretty
lighting.
 
 Nice
to see a tropicbird or two.
  Coasters Camping looked a little ‘for the rugged only’.
 We
loved the bee on the grave of Manetoaki.
 A classic.
  A very simple, but very smart little
church.
 
 After our wonderfully posed ‘One
Careful Owner’, we introduced Karl to the Family
Pile-On. Sitting in the back with Sofia and Blake, I learned that Karl
had very ticklish feet, nuff said, plan time. Everyone had their stations. Sofia
shoulders. Blake beating with a leaf. Becky chest. Me ballast and tickler. Bear
cameraman. Is my bum really that big ??? Sadly, yes
dear. Oh. The three minute limit set couldn’t come quick enough for
Karl...........
 
 We checked out our destination for
tomorrows lunch and snorkel. Avatele.
 Last thing we stopped for an ice
cream. Fakamolemole nakai maekeke ke kaitalalofa means sorry no credit allowed.
Completely unable to learn this language, it does seem simpler to pay
cash....... In the queue with us was a little
chap.
 
 Little people take
over. After a little study, ready to go, very tired bears.
ALL IN ALL INCREDIBLE WHAT
YOU CAN FIT IN A
