Our last day on Rarotonga, and after a few days of cloudy skies the sunshine returned to provide some quality beach action.
The flight to Christchurch doesn't leave until 2am tomorrow and because we'll be crossing the international dateline we'll doubtless be completely disorientated again by the time we land.
The main reason we came to the Cook Islands was to ease ourselves into the trip, kick the jet lag into touch, and begin the NZ leg of the journey nicely refreshed. Now, of course, we'll be as bewildered as we were when we crawled off the plane 10 days ago. Oh well, it hasn't exactly been a chore staying here.
Our verdict? Absolutely love the place. The people are exceptionally warm and genuine, Rarotonga is gobsmackingly beautiful and we really couldn't have had a better start to our adventure.
Now for New Zealand.

We are "tuning in"to your Blog (if that's the right expression) W & D. We liked Day 6 best and left a comment which doesn't appear to be showing up yet - perhaps I'm just doing something wrong. Most exciting thing that's happened to us this week? Finally got around to watching Volver. Remember your favourite scene Dave? Audible - too audible - "phwooar" from me followed by sharp and painful elbow in ribs from Catherine.
Anyway, watch out for the quirky Kiwis and bring on Part 2!
S&C from Bath
Fantastic so far - really looking forward to reading about the next leg ...
... by the way, where did you go on the motorbike?
Glad to hear you're having so much fun.
We're all having fun. So much fun. Oh, the fun we're all having. Yes. The fun.
