Wednesday-Thursday - Woke up early and then said goodbye to Rarotonga. Got back and then agreed that it was the best vacation ever!. Notes about Rarotonga:The dogs have very short legs and we have two theories why: 1. It is a small island or 2. to get scraps from under the tablesJack painted me a fish on coral and I painted him a fish on paper.No stoplights on the whole islandChickens and roosters wander all overThere are graves on some people's lawns becaus...

Breakfast on the deck again! Then scootering off to Fruits of Rarotonga again. We bought fish food from the store. We threw some out and there were swarms of fish all around us.

Then before dinner we went to take pictures and dad broke one of the lights on ...

We had changed our Captain Tamas cruise to today and so we scootered off to there with the snorkel gear. The boat was 30 minutes late, but we were glad to be going. We finally stopped the boat and then flopped into the water. There were soooo ma...
