Cook Islands Journey - Day #4

12.05.2014 - Rarotonga

Another bus trip to the 'city' today, jumped on the other bus today to go clockwise around the island. It pretty
much looks the same all around the island, one road and a view houses towards the coast and a view
towards the mountain. People on scooters, dogs and chicken on the street, palm trees everywhere.

Bought some water, apples and crackers in the supermarket and then hopped on the other bus back to the
resort.
This morning the swell at the reef is almost triple the size than the last days. Looks like there's a storm on the
Pacific or something. The waves were between 1-3m high. Fantastic to watch them break on the reef!
I paddled with the kayak as close as I could to the reef and watch the waves for an hour or so. To me waves
are like starring into a fire. It's just relaxing almost like a meditation.
For dinner I had a very nice filet steak while viewing the rise of the almost full moon over the lagoon. The moon
came up behind on of the small islands in the lagoon with palm trees as a silhouette and the high waves
breaking onto the reef in the background. Not too bad!
