We had a 45 minute
flight to Aitutaki and were at our resort before lunch. It is a very lovely setting. The main island is surrounded by a huge
lagoon. We are on the west side of the
island where the lagoon is narrower and there isn’t any motorized boat activity
the way there is on the other side. It
is very peaceful and relaxing. All units
are separate, the way they were in Fiji and you can walk out of our unit straight into the water. There is
wonderful snorkeling in the lagoon so I have done that several times. I bought a reef shirt in Fiji so have been
able to make good use of it.
Yesterday we had our
first full day of rain. It rained harder
during the night and had cleared by late afternoon. We have a large covered deck which was very
comfortable to sit and read while listening to the rain. Last night was Island Night here which was a
buffet that included some traditional Cook Island dishes followed by a
show. The show was really excellent –
the dancers were outstanding. Lois had
talked to a Fijian staff member and she said the dancers from Aitutaki always
win the competitions amongst the South Sea Islands because of their
technique. She told Lois some of the
thing to watch for so that made it even more interesting.
