The Pacific - the Cook Islands page 1 of 5
The Cook Islands consist
of 15 islands scattered over 850,000 square miles of the pacific,
close to the center of the Polynesian triangle. Rarotonga is
the largest of the Cook Islands and offers a Mecca for rest and
relaxation.
One of the
best tropical destinations the world is starting to discover,
offering the traveler a small, accessible country with distinctive
warmth and hospitality. The Cook Islands have attitude - true
relaxed Polynesia. You'll feel part of their family, a place
where every visitor is treated as a friend.
I spent five
days in this tropical paradise in late October / early November
2005. Although most of my 5-day stay was spent in meetings and
inspecting various properties in and around Rarotonga - I did
manage to wangle some free time on Aitutaki (described by many
as the Pacific's prettiest atoll) & on a small motu called
"One Foot Island" where I soaked up the sun. An afternoon
here felt like a lifetime away from the cares of the world!
