Not quite a once in a lifetime chance but still a pretty rare and awesome opportunity to walk/run/cycle/skate/scooter🚶🏽‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🚴🏽‍♀️🛹🛴the Rarotonga International Airport Runway.

Seemed like half the island was there - including the PM (check out his wheels!) having a good old reminiscence about when he used to walk the runway regularly. Not for fun or exercise but as part of his job as a teenager in the 70s🕺🏼🪩🪮when he used to work on the runway lights - good money for back then too he reckons!

That wouldn’t have been that many years after👑Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the international airport in 1974 - which is what this is all about, celebrating🥳the airport’s upcoming 50th anniversary on January 29.

Meitaki Ma’ata to Airport Authority Cook Islands and all their staff for putting on such an amazing community event and dealing with all the logistics required. Same time next year ay? 😉

Whale-watching season 'officially' ended earlier this week, but having driven by this Club Raro Resort sign every day for the past few months we couldn't help but wonder - just what were those dirty old whales getting up to out there?

When you come visit Rarotonga you have to check out Churbros Rarotonga for that sugar fix. Serving something sweet and scrumptious at the Muri Night Market.

And make sure you follow them on their FB or Insta - so you don’t miss out on classic videos like this one. 🤩

Our favourite family staycation is always at The Edgewater Resort & Spa. Right now it’s empty with no visitors.

We feel like we’ve got the whole place to ourselves.

To us, nothing says 🌺Kia Orana🌺 like the flowers we adorn our family and visitors with when they arrive.

For first-time visitors to our shores, when you’re given an ei (flower garland), it means welcome and we’re so grateful you arrived safely. Each flower is a representation of how happy we are to see you. How much you are loved.

The fragrance fills the air. The beauty of them brings a smile to your face. Kia Orana! ❤️
