We had a good 4 hour flight here - we left on Monday but because we crossed the International date line we arrived on Sunday. We were greeted at the tiny airport and each given a lei made of real flowers.
Some locals returning home received many leis - an indication of how much the family were pleased they were back.
The island just has 1 main road around the coast and mountainous rain forest in the middle. Martin and I were going to do a day walk over the top from 1 side to the other but it's too hot. There is a bus which goes clockwise and another which goes anticlockwise and you can flag them down anywhere. There are only 13000 inhabitants on the 15 Cook Islands.
We have a small apartment in a block of 4 and have a beautiful tropical garden to look out on. There are coconut, banana and papaya trees and chickens running free.
