Avaroa, Rarotonga, Cook Islands

We are in the harbor in Avaroa in the Southern Cook Islands for the past few days. The weather has turned rainy and cool and quite blustery so I don't think we are going anywhere for a few days. Cousin Benny left yesterday and we have enjoyed having him here and I hope he visits again soon. We did the round the island tour by car and there is an exquisite lagoon in the south eastern part of the island which we all enjoyed. We also saw Wigmore's Waterfall, not quite Niagra Falls but attractive nonetheless.
The most amazing thing here is that they all speak English! Albeit with a New Zealand accent and after nine monts of having to communicate in Spanish and French, this is really a pleasure.
There is a cultural festival going on this week and we will no doubt, get to see it. constitution week, rarotonga
