Miss Niue and coconuts at the Pasifica Festival

Here is the lovely Miss Niue. I felt a little sorry for her because we should have been congratulating her and encouraging her on being Miss Niue. But instead my proud mum was boasting to her about how I live in Switzerland, awww.

It was a stinking hot day, and we were sure glad when we spotted the coconut stand. Chilled coconut juice is the perfect drink of choice for this type of day.

As you can see from all the coconut husks, we weren't the only ones that thought so.
