October 1 Rarotonga (Cook Islands)

4 hours later we arrive into Rarotonga (Raro) on the 1st October. Yeah, we get an extra day back!

The Island is small - 32km round trip. We get to our hostel to find we are sharing with a room with 3 other people - 2 Scottish lasses and a very vain British bloke. Actually we soon realise the hostel is full of UK people (Wales, Scotland and England) peppered with Swedes and Finnish. It's like an episode of Brits Abroad!

We are right on the beach, but the weather is really overcast. According to everyone it has been overcast almost all week.
