Pictures of Nui

Solstice anchored in  Alofi, Nui.

Back in the saddle again.

This place is called Matapa Chasm where the Nui;s traditional kings use to come to bath.

Talva Arches

The coral forest you have to trek  through to get to the Arches.

Looking through a hole in the cave, you can see a fisherman fishing on the reef.

Just beautiful pools water.

Some of the trek down to the Arches.

Stalactites and Stalagmites.

Just beautiful water in these pools.

An opening inside the cave.

Mass of jagged coral pinnacles where a passage leads off to the edge of a chasm . At  the foot of the chasm there is a beach of fine golden  sand and palm trees.

This is  the chasm with the coconut trees that rise up to almost the top of the chasm.

The ladder that takes you down to the beach with the coconut trees.

It was amazing site.

More of the trek to get to the chasm, should  of had this picture before. 

Breaking water over the reef.

Just a beautiful place to watch the waves coming in.

Bob Marley flag that someone stuck in front of a memorial commemorating the men that lost their live in the first world war., Who knows!!

The bay of Alofi, Nui whee we were moored

What used to be.

Trek to the coral forest, amazing to see things growing there.

Beautiful plants that grow amongst the coral.

We were amazed at the color of the water.
