Day #8 Saturday

Slept in this morning, nearly 7:00am before we surfaced.  Had a progressive breakfast this morning, cereal here at home, and off to the Saturday morning markets in Rarotonga main township.  Shared waffles and fruit with our morning coffee before doing over the well known markets.

Bought some lovely sarong materials for us both - I will make our summer "crazy pants" when I get a wet weekend. Bert bought a matching tie dyed t-shirt to go with his.  Couple of gifts for a few girl friends and then had to go to the "records" coffee shop we found yesterday for coffee and carrot cake to share..  Spent an hour or so there talking to strangers and just listening to old records.




Home then to get our snorkelling gear and back to the spot we have been going to all holidays, Bert snorkelled but I took the soft option and sat on the beach with a book.



Lunch was at LBV's in Muri, bit of a drama getting to coordinated there today, their service was definitely off today, good food as usual but the coffees were forever coming.

Home for a shower and relax, 30 minutes....    Bert wanted to go to the local Cook Island Football Team final so we did - sat not the grass and listen to the supporters abusing the other team.  Only one "biff" and then down to a new place for dinner "Vianna's", had calamari and chips on the beach, the view as magnificent - last of the sunset..
