Alofi, Niue
Next day was much of the same, except we join those installing the tide gauge for lunch at a cafe in Alofi, a few doors down from the pizza and sushi place. I didn’t know any of those that were working there — I don’t think my boss knew any of them either — but it was good to catchup with fellow work-mates, particularly in an unfamiliar country far from home.
We had another exploration session after work, trying to get as many of the internal roads criss-crossing the island covered. I remember my fondness for the island getting deeper during that exploration session, especially with the fading light softening the scenery. It was quite lovely.
