• The life aquatic

    March 12, 2025 in Cook Islands ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

    The sun rises late here (close to 7am) but in typical form we woke around 5. The day started with a stroll along the beach to a local cafe, which will likely be a daily ritual. Our morning involved more strolling along some shops, including the island's tiny op shop (to purchase clothes for tomorrow's adventure... Stay tuned!) Lunch was a sharing plate at the Falafel shack. Steve then took a diving refresher course while I napped for ages (clearly need it!) and we ended the day with snorkeling. Highlight: hanging out with a massive green turtle while it snacked for ages on something strange looking, then floating with a school of Flutemouths (some arrive 70cm long). No underwater pics sadly.Read more
