Travelling back in time is impossible? So how did we leave Melbourne on Saturday the 30th of November and arrived in Rarotonga on the Cook Islands on Friday the 29th of November then? And does it really matter when you receive a warm island welcome with a traditional flower lei?

After recovering from our travel back in time with a nice long sleep we got ourselves our very own Cook Islands drivers licenses on Saturday morning and rented a scooter to explore Rarotonga. The nationwide speed limit of 60 km/h and a very laid back attitude results in some very relaxed driving. Biggest traffic hazards are chicken, dogs and the odd crab crossing the only road that circles the island 🙂

scooters are fun

And this is how we spent the next couple of days in Rarotonga …

beach time for the toes
our favourite spot on the beach

cocktails and dinner at the beach
snorkelling with starfish …
… and sea urchins
Gone walkabout 
Bea, looks like you are enjoying the islands. Who is the weirdo with you?
