I am not much of a photographer that is a given, but gee I love sunsets! We have had such crap weather up here recently and it has been ages since we have seen any sun to speak of, let alone a setting sun. We got a lovely little one today...

Yet another from Rarotonga, this was taken from a place we found while out on the Scooters. I tend to go anywhere I like and went down a driveway to have a look, the owner of th property said ''come back later tea'' so we did and had an awesome night.
The pic was taken from our table, the place seats about 12....way cool!

Funny story about 'Mals Bar'
We met a couple from Aussie at the Edgewater, they were getting married over at Atutaki. He ordered a drink at the bar, he asked for a Bourbon and coke.... Benji (the cool as bar dude) made him a Bourbon and lemonade. Na na thats a mistake mate, I asked for a Bourbon and coke. Benji was about to tip it out, I stoped him and said ''I'll have it''...when I got a refill, I asked for a Bourbon Mistake, Benji laughed and poured me one, so that became the standard order.

Not the prettiest sunset photo I've ever taken, but given that it was taken in a hurry from a moving bus, I'm pleased widdit. It'll be a while (if ever) before I get another opportunity to retake another one.
