Sunday - the day of rest

Sunday in the Cook Islands is pretty laid back with most places closing - except the Koru Cafe.

After breakfast of Corn Flakes and Banana/Pawpaw we set off for a walk around Ootu beach. The wind has dropped considerably so the lagoon was nice and flat. We saw plenty of activity in the water in only the first few inches. Quite a few grumpy crabs and even a small Puffer fish which quickly swam away when only half inflated!


It may not look like it but grumpy crab is actually under the water, that's how still and clear it is!

On the way back we passed the Koru Cafe and stopped in for a coffee and a Chocolate Croissant.

Then we headed back up the channel where we snorkeled yesterday. Unfortunately, the tide was in and the current was just too strong to easily potter about around the coral heads and the water was more murky. We gave up on that and headed back.

Back at our bungalow we had a slap up brunch using the remaining Baked Beans, a Fried Egg, bacon and toasted ciabatta.

Then we settled in for an afternoon of kayaking and swimming in the channel in front or the lovely pool next to our unit. Other than that it was a chill-out day.



We are heading out for happy hour from 5-6 with a Yorkshire couple a few units along. They are heading back tomorrow and we go the day after. Where has the time gone!!

Whew - On board in Auckland

Image
An early start. The alarm woke us at 3:15am - but we were more or less awake anyway. A TXT from Air New Zealand warned that Christchurch might be affected by fog. Fortunately, no such bad luck and we were airborne at 6:10. Somewhat chaotic at Auckland airport with all the security checks but we finally made it to the gate just in time to board. Now sitting in our seats waiting to go. Rarotonga here we come.

Action day

Image
Today we decided get on and do a few things. Steve gave us the car for the day and we drove down the island to check out a Cafe we had been recommended. Avatea Cafe is relatively new and well reviewed so we have booked for dinner tonight. On the way back, we did a bit more shopping and found another new shop (opened in December) so managed to get some hydroponic lettuce for our lunch of (leftover) steak sandwiches. On the way back we stopped for a quick snorkel at the top end of the island. The water here is a bit too shallow for easy swimming (especially as it was low tide - Ed) but there were plenty of small reef fish to look at. The steak sandwiches were great - see photo. Then it was down the road 500m to the sailing club area where I hired a windsurfer for a couple of hours. Not being familiar with the gear it was a quite messy sailing experience but good fun. Unfortunately, I ran over a small coral head on the way back and managed to snap the fin off. Now I have to try to find a ...

Wednesday (for us)

Image
 Decided to have a quiet day today and started with a walk along the outside of the airport. This is not a 'tourist' zone as it is close to the edge of the atoll with the airport runway alongside.  The sea is crashing onto the coral platform about 100m away. Last time I walked along here there was plastic waste everywhere. This time, almost nothing which is great to see. We met a local fisherman with a bag of about half a dozen small reef fish. His equipment was very primitive. Just a 2m bamboo pole with a piece of fishing line attached and a small hook. It obviously worked. No need for expensive fibreglass/carbon fibre rods and fancy pancy reels. There are also quite a few rusting lumps of metal from who-knows-when. Possibly WWII but maybe just dumped in more recent times. Here's the remains of a tractor: Next up was a swim in the lagoon to cool off (note different swimsuit) A lovely day so we then took a double kayak for a paddle to see if Miriam could get in and out. No ...
