Cook Islands Journey - Day #1

09.05.2014 - Rarotonga

Friday the 9th - take two.
Well second Friday morning in a row. Strange thing.
What a fantastic view! From my bed / balkony I have an awesome view over the Muri lagoon, the reef in the
back and then the Pacific ocean. The lagoon water turquoise, the Pacific deep blue, whitewater as a divider.
Perfect!
I got myself a Kayak and paddled the lagoon for two hours enjoying the warm clear water.
After I sat a while on my balcony enjoying the view I went to the resort restaurant where there was Island Night.
A 3 course dinner with some musicians and dancer performing maori songs and dances. Well I really don't like
the Ukulele, it just sounds wrong and annoying to my ears but the drums are awesome. At the end of the show
the dancer got some people from the audience to participate. So I tried my best to mimic the war dance and it
seemed like I didn't do too bad but I think I won’t be a professional dancer in the near future. ;)
