Cook Islands

I didn’t know exactly where the Cook Islands were located in the huge Pacific Ocean and was positively surprised to leave the airplane already after a 4-hour flight from Auckland. By crossing the date line I also repeated Saturday 27th March. I didn’t really pay attention to this when booking my hotel and consequently showed up a day early…
From the moment you get off the plane you notice how relaxed everything is here. While waiting for your bags there is live music and you are received by locals with a huge smile on their face. Get’s you in the right mood straight away.
When I arrived at my apartment things only got better. Fantastic beach for snorkeling, seafood bbq’s and great cocktails in a bar on the beach ran by an interesting character who mentioned that the Cook Islands is like Hawai 40 years ago.
I spent 8 days on the island and if you want to chill out for a while this is the place to be. Enough said, I think the pictures speak for themselves.
