Day 8
How come time flies past when you are on holiday? It’s hard to believe that we’ll be heading home early tomorrow morning.
It’s unanimous – we love Rarotonga! The people are friendly and helpful which is remarkable considering the number of tourists about. The weather has been pleasantly warm, raining most nights and the odd very quick showers during the day.
We have seen whales, magnificent beaches and beautiful tropical gardens. Eating out has been fun – stepping back in time, but nevertheless savouring the fresh seafood and different fruits.
Having a car has been a bonus. We are staying near the airport and on the other coast from all the resorts, so we’ve needed a car to get out and about. Gray was keen to get a scooter, but after seeing a couple our age enter a restaurant the other night, I’m glad we have a car. He looked more than pleased with himself as he swaggered in, whilst she had a look of horror on her face that said, ‘and I have to go back to the resort on that thing after dinner!!’ I do hope their holiday improved for her.
