Day 5 
Visiting the National Museum was as we expected, depicting a similar history to New Zealand. Their excellent map of the Pacific migrations, showed how courageous and skilled the early explorers were. Rarotonga is a little dot in an immense body of water so we marvelled that it was found so early. Apparently the island is a top of a mountain. There is a huge landmass underneath us!
We are now regulars at The Café. We are not prepared to try other coffee shops in case they are not so good – best to stick with what you can be sure of!
The temperatures are certainly warmer than when we first arrived – pleasant mid 20s during the day and high teens overnight. We watch TVNZ news at 8.45pm and see that we have escaped the very cold temperatures at home. We thought that it is Spring!
