Corelly - Thank you for your in depth reply, I'm finding it hard to find people who have actually been to Cook Islands - although I don't know why, I'm in love and I haven't stepped foot on the place!

We have 5 day car hire included in our package and we figure we will use the bikes at our resort or taxi's/bus for the rest of the time. We might consider a scooter just for the fun of it. I'm excited to do the perimeter, it amazes me we can get around in an hour!

Eeep wasps, I'll be sure to keep my eye out for those. And yes have been made aware there are some vicious mozzies.

We'll look into the dancing/food at Pacific, our resort is boutique and small but our hosts have been very helpful thus far, they have everything covered really.

Did you go to any markets? We plan to cook alot of our own meals and wer after some insider info on where the best produce is at the best prices?

Oooooh the chocolate creme brulee sounds magnificent, I'll be sure to ask where to find them, are they quite famous?

We plan on doing alot of the nothingness you speak of - ****tails, sun, sand, peace and quiet; I can't wait. 69 sleeps to go lol can you tell i'm a tad excited?

And of course you can come, I'll sneak you in my suitcase!
