Back to reality

We were on a 9am Jetstar flight back to Sydney so up early to check out and get to the airport. One thing very noticeable at that hour was the number of roosters crowing in the morning - there was a constant racket!

A few thoughts on the Cook Islands:

- It was a fantastic holiday, friendly people, great accommodation, fantastic weather, lots to do or not do as required!
- We both agreed we should have spent some time in Aitutaki, will do next time
- Swimming with turtles with Oz was the highlight
- Rarotonga is easy to get around on the public bus
- Our hotel, the Crown Beach, was excellent. Nice to have our own compound and pool
- Beers are cheap! About $5 in the hotel bar, $3.50 at the shop across the road
- I like the way the jugs of beer have a section for ice in them as well
- Definitely keen to come back!

And that’s all for this trip, thanks for reading.

Footnote - the flight back had to make an unexpected stop in Auckland. Seems the winds and weather have required the plane to have more fuel than it can carry from Rarotonga so we are having to make an unscheduled stop. It is an A321 Neo again.Read more
