Rarotonga – Cook Islands

One funny thing about Rarotonga Cook Islands is that Captain Cook himself never got to set food on this island, so in a way we had the same faith, neither of us got more than to see its silhouette. Never mind nobody wanted to get his behind wet because of this island!

The Captain decided that the swells were too high this morning, and it is well known that they usually get higher during the afternoon. Therefore it was not worth taking the risk that people returning from an excursion in late afternoon would get stranded on the island. No Robinson Crusoe spirit here apparently.

Though it was a pity for the welcome party and the tour operators, they had probably a loss because of the cancellations. That is life sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Further cool facts about Rarotonga I leave to your imagination!

By the way the Captain talked about that he would find another little island, on our way to New Zealand, on which we might find natives whom we can capture with Chinese souvenirs and the whole thing. It sounds exciting let us hope he can keep his word? We started in Caribbean (which meant cannibal) and now we might get the real thing what about that? It must be aventur (French).
