The colours of the waves also varied a lot depending on whether the sun was out or how the wave broke.

 The large waves created immense plumes of water when it hit the shore. It was pretty exhilarating to watch.

I also love taking pictures of waves. I feel that each picture is unique, and you never know exactly what you'll capture each time.

We stayed a while admiring the large waves pounding the shore. I love watching waves in the ocean - it's one of those things I can watch for hours and not get bored. It's a great place to meditate on life.

Looking south down the coast.

Looking north up the coast. Anapala is on the southeastern shore of Niue.

First, we took a short walk down the Anapala Sea Track to see the ocean. The track came to an end at some steps that were being washed over by the large waves breaking on the reef.

Everyone staying at the hostel ended up at the Crazy Uga Café for breakfast! It was a great view from the cozy café, and it had good food and coffee. Afterwards, the redhead girls staying at Kololi met up with us as planned (with some island time delays) to drive around. Driving across to Anapala, we passed by the high school, a campus of the University of the South Pacific, and Hapuku, which used to be one of the largest villages on the island, but is now mostly deserted. It had a school built for 200 elementary students, which is about the total number of students in the country, and the schools have been centralized. The old school has been converted to a strip-mall like place, housing the village hall, a bar, and a few other stores and facilities.

Outside the Crazy Uga Café owned and run by Willie, and the new under-construction extension. That's Alexa along with Brian and Ira's dog, Lucy. Note the phone number on the sign - phone numbers in Niue are only four digits long.

I had another night of poor sleep due to mosquitoes. In retrospect, maybe I should have bought some of those mosquito coils for the room. Walking around Alofi before breakfast, I came across this seemingly abandoned building with a Niue Airline sign. I wonder if it was an actual airline, and if it is, where they flew and how big their fleet was. There doesn't seem to be any reference of Niue Airline on the internet.
