    Lagoon Cruise

    March 7 in Cook Islands ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    We all went on the Koka Lagoon Cruise this morning. The guys from Koka are musicians and sing and play music and spend most of the time making jokes and making sure everyone is having a good time. They took the group out to the reserve where the giant clams are. I saw one when snorkeling that must have been about 1m long! There were also loads of Blue Trevally and butterfly fish as well as a big snapper. It was a glass bottom boat Rosie got to see them too ☺️
    Then we headed to the Motu for lunch, yummy salads and BBQ fish, chicken and sausages.
    After lunch they played songs from different places and asked people where they were from. When Matt said UK they called him up to the 'stage' and said this man is from the UK and in the UK they dance like this... Was very funny to watch, luckily Matt is up for a laugh.
    After the cruise Matt went snorkeling and although the visibility was bad he saw a turtle just sat on the sand. We spotted one from the beach too so I went out and found it and swam above it (in the very shallow lagoon) watching it feed and come up for air. It was so close I could hear it breathe when it came up!
    Rosie made friends with our new neighbours on the beach - a 4yr old called Amelia. And she has a 6 month old brother so Poppy has a friend too. Shame we're only here for 1 more full day.
