..i stared at those tiny atolls lying in the very middle of the Pacific Ocean while flying above them and i couldnt help but thinking how far we were was from everything else..
Cook Islands have been fantastic!! 4 days out of 5 were rainy, but it didnt really matter to me, i got burned anyway..
that island was like paradise to me, going snorkelling near the shore and spotting beautiful fish.. enjoying a real mango picked from a tree, drinking water out of a "nu", getting lifts to town by the local maori and watching women making flower crowns at the local shop..well, its something out of this world..especially the local maori..they are big, man!
included on the list of things i wouldnt do again: taking the local bus, having had the brilliant idea of exploring the south of the island at around 7.30 pm and suddenly realizing is pitch dark by 8..i was left by the side of the road in the middle of Rarotonga, by a quite amused bus driver, trying to convince myself that there must have been some "cornen shop" opened around there..learning that the biggest of the Cook Islands doesnt have a damn corner shop, nor lights at the sides of the main road, nor tourists silly enough to be seen walking for a full hour before reaching the "city centre".. (but then again..its me...there must be a story to tell every time)
after being reunited, me and Colm (still everyone we meet think we are a couple)..(he doesnt know what to do anymore to flick his head back when laughing in a more camp manner)have reached Auckland..in a super cool hostel in front of the Sky Tower..no kidding!!
photos will be next..
