Rarotonga, Cook Islands - May 21, 2016




The Plan

We are off on a short break to the Cook Islands, we have had a rather busy start to the year so time for a bit of time off on a  lovely South Pacific Island. We have heard a lot about it so lets go and find out for us.

We are staying at Aloha Mana, a lovely 2 bed cottage, a lovely lady Wendy has been very accommodating with our booking.  http://www.aloha-mana.com


The plan (and read each day to see if our plans work out)

Day 1:
9:30am - Sue is coming to housesit for us and take care of them for us while having a holiday herself.

12 noon - we will head off and have a lazy lunch at Pearl Beach, then into Sydney and head to Watsons Bay for a walk around and snack before heading to the airport for around 6pm.

9:30pm - Air New Zealand departs for Rarotonga.  It is a direct flight of about 6 hours, on the other side of the international date line.  We leave Saturday night, but arrive at Rarotonga at 7:30am Saturday morning, and we start the day again with only 6 hours of night time.

Our holiday house is on the south side of the island on the part called Titikavea.  We have a car for the first 4 days and on day 5 we head off to Aitutaki    http://aitutaki.com
