Aitatuki is the sort of island everyone imagines a South Pacific island to be - brilliant blue skies, clean white sandy beaches, blue seas and palm trees everywhere. After a short drive round the Island (it is even smaller than Rarotonga) we joined a canoe boat type boat with two outboards to cruise the lagoon. Our first stop was on one of the small islands for a swim and then we moved onto the highlight of the day - the snorkelling. This was just like swimming in an aquarium and none of us wanted to get out of the water even though a delicious lunch was waiting for us.
As we were finishing our lunch we moved on to One Foot Island where we spent the afternoon wandering round the shore and swimming before returning to the "mainland" for our flight back to Rarotonga. A wonderful day in paradise.

ReplyDeleteI thought it was a whale!! Only joking, it looks awful there, don't know how you're managing to put up with it!! Read in the paper that Castle Cove is up for sale only £60,000.00
