Welcome to the Jungle

 Bula! 

A week in Rarotonga has disapeared! I did not even do much. I guess the relaxed Island lifstyle got the better of me. The Cook Islands really was awesome, such a small place yet a country all of its own! I can’t remember who reconmended it, I know Huber did, but maybe Gemdog aswell, anyway, thank you for telling me! After being in Fiji (only 1 night so far) I can appriciate how absolutelly tiny the Cooks was. It is a proper tropical isalnd. With its own crazy money (trianglular coins and $3 notes), laid back attitude and beautiful scenery, truley a great place to stop on your way home.

One of the best bits was hiering a motorbike - the only way to have freedome to get about the island. A complete circuit only takes 30mins! you have to get a Cook Islands driving Licence, just a way for the govenment to make money, but its a nice sovenier. I enjoyed cruising the island on my Yamaha YBR 125. I was the only one at the hostel to get a bike with gears and a helmet!

Other than rideing my bike and relaxing at the hostel i did manage to go to church (awesome singing and a great buffet afterwards), a local village rugby match (awfull standard but terrific passion) and an Island night featuring Drums and dancing. 

Off on an Isalnd tour of Fiji tomorrow for one week, ill report back next weekend.
