Hi everyone,
After a long boring time in Los Angeles Airport, where are highlight came from Martin Kemp coming to sit next to us in Starbucks!! Just when we thought we were leaving LA without seeing anyone famous!
We arrived safely in Rarotonga after another 9 hour flight! When we first arrived it definitely was not similar to the pictures we had seen as it was pouring with rain! But fingers crossed that has stopped and we have had 2 days in the gorgeous sunshine since.
Our hostel is right on the beach, which has white sands, palm trees and crystal clear waters. It is just like a screen saver picture!
There are little Islets just off the beach which we have walked out to through the shallow waters, which don't get deeper than waist height!
Simon managed to crack open a cocunut which we found last night, it was much harder than he expected but tasted delicious.
Tonight we are going to a village evening with some friends we have made in the hostel, including a couple also from Dorset! The evening includes having dinner cooked in banana leaves underground and seeing an overwater show of their traditional dance and music.
We are going to spend today on the beach and maybe get a kayak later to explore some more of the lagoon! There is a waterfall in the middle of the island which we are going to walk to another day.
Thank you for all the comments and messages you have been leaving, sorry we are not getting much chance to reply due to limited internet time. We are having to use an internet cafe here as the hostel does not have a computer.
We really enjoy hearing from you though so please continue!!
Hope everything is good back home,
Lots of Love
Abi and Simon x x x x
