Awesome day in a rental car wearing ourselves out, first snorkeling and climbing around in a cave, then down to a small white sand beach cove, then to a chasm for a swim, then to another chasm for a longer hike through a native forest, watched crashing waves on a cliff shore, then down into a cave for a front row view of the crashing waves, saw a coconut crab climbing a sheer rock wall, then to another chasm with fresh water where old natives used to go to get fresh water down in a cave, then ended back in town just in time for the "community meal" to celebrate their 40 year of independence where we had free drinks, free dinner, and local entertainment with kids doing a dance show in native attire, New Zealand Navy doing a chant of some kind, then local adults singing, dancing, and playing guitar like instruments. The lift for the dinghy's broke, so we shuttled all the cruisers home after the party since their dinghy's are up on the hard.
I met a commander on the Naval ship and talked ourselves into a tour of the NZ navy ship tomorrow morning at 8 am!!! YEAH!! So many great things going on in Niue this week!! Perfect timing!
