We woke at Jos and had morning coffee with Jessica and GJ at the surf cafe that overlooks Lyall Bay - fantastic surf. Then back to clean up and pack, plus clean Jos car. Final farewells. It was a wrench to be leaving as we have been made so welcome by Jo, her family and neighbours that the place was beginning to feal like home.
Left the airpot at 7.30pm and arrived Rarotonga at 2.30am the same day having crossed the date line. Were met by HEAT, music and real flower garlands. Our hotel room leads onto a pristine beach, cocnut tress and a lagoon.
The reef is a bit handy - otherwise the 2m pacific swell and 3m breakers would end up the beach and in our bedroom. The water is warm the air temperature 28C and the stars were fantastic. Slept until lunch time, went swimming and kayaking, dinner and it is still Thursday 5th February.
Friday 6th.
Hired a car and toured the island - its not very big. The global recession has hit these islands - there is no problem finding accomodation, so now have booked a beatiful villa on a beatiful beach for a lot less than our hotel room.
Photos when we remember to bring the lead.
More later.
