Beach Holiday, Rarotonga, Cook Islands - July 2011

A good break in Raro. Only 3 hours from Auckland. Amazing how you can go from winter to tropics in such a short skip. First week we had a stand alone villa. Second week we up'ed (albiet free) to a pool room. Yes, you get your own swimming pool!


"Kia Orana!"


On holiday at last


"cocktail please !"


Cheers big ears


iPod experience


"Leave it alone"


Yes they are real coconuts


I am only standing for the photo then I am going to rest more


Bus around the island


"Help"


What can you say


100 meters to the beach begins to drag


Daily haul to the shops


The hotel is full but deserted - yipee no small humans


First week villa


Gardener provides coconut which you eat with a shell


Second week villa


Beer, peanut, pool - check


I hate doing nothing ... NOT


Should I watch the whales or read the book


So, back to work ?
