There is no dingy dock as such, just a jetty.  You have to crane your dingy out of the water and leave it on the quay side.  First day in Niue it was relatively calm but the swell got progressively larger over the couple of days we spent here.  At the end of this it was a leap of faith to get back into the dingy once you’d launched it from the crane.

Hired another minibus/car for a couple of days and toured the island.  Stephen in one of his off road days decided to take one of the sea tracks.  Niue has signposts all around the island directing you to these ‘tracks’.  The one that Stephen ‘chose’ had part of the road washed away towards the end.  We scraped the under carriage for about 10m.  When we tried to get back up the road the car got stuck and we had to get out and push. Motto - distract Stephen when he wants to go off road unless we have a 4 wheel drive.

A lot of sponsorship by EU has taken place around the island.  Found this sculpture park in the middle of nowhere. 

Sculpture Park.
