SomeWoman - I've heard incredible things about aituaki, I think I'll look into it. Mmmm seafood *drool* were hoping to catch alot of what we eat if possible.
Iona - do you want me to smuggle you in my suitcase too??
As far as markets and produce goes, I really don't remember seeing any. But where we stayed didn't have any cooking facilities, so we weren't really looking for it either. Sorry, not much help there.
The cafe where we got the creme brulee is tiny and its in the same strip where the police station is, there is a big (well Raro-style big) shopping area with department-like store and its on the edge of the building. Wish I could remember the name of it!
When you're on the road there, go past the end of the airport when a plane comes in. The planes have to cross the road and hit the runway just on the other side of the fence and we actually saw kids hanging off the fence, flapping about in the jet wave!!!!
I am so so jealous and told DH and he just looked like he wants to go now. You'll have an absolute ball. Best rest holiday we've ever had.
We're thinking of honeymooning on/in/at(?) the Cook Islands but DS is a bit young to leave at home as yet WDYT of taking him with us? Will that mean we cant do most of the activities?
Sorry to crash your thread, didn't see the point in starting my own on the same thing...
I had my honeymoon at the Cook Islands, about 6 years ago now, we also stayed at the Pacific Resort.
I too would second hiring a scooter, we both got our licence but only hired one scooter just took turns dinking each other. I know at the restort we stayed at they had an islander night which was themed had dancing etc.
We also took an inland tour in a 4wd, was quite interesting seeing the produce etc.
From memory there was a a market I think it was on the Saturday morning, unfortunately it was raining quite heavily so I didn't take much in as to what was their.
Hope you have a fantastic time, it is a beautiful place with lovely people.
Megs we were there 5 years ago. One years difference and we would've been drinking Rarotongan Sunsets together!
Heva - I didn't see any kids at all on any of the things we did, it was mainly couples. You guys could swim in the lagoon and look at the fish with DS, or swim in the pool. Maybe look to see if any resorts there actually cater for kids too. It's a strong "romantic" feeling island, lots of couples and people getting married.
Ashlee - Forgot to say before - have put myself on a diet so I'll be a lighter load in your suitcase!!!!
